Principal components or factor analytic models on covariates are often useful for reducing complex covariate spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Principal component analysis (PCA) is a statistical procedure that uses an orthogonal transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated variables into a set of values of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components. The number of principal components is less than or equal to the number of original variables.<\/p>\n<p>Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed, correlated variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved variables called factors. In other words, it is a way of reducing the number of variables under consideration by identifying a smaller number of factors that explain most of the variability in the data.<\/p>\n<p>Both PCA and factor analysis can be used to reduce complex covariate spaces. This can be useful in a number of ways.
