Principal components analysis of multivariate data sets is a standard statistical method that was developed in the early halt or the 20th century. It provides researchers with a method for transforming their source data axes into a set of orthogonal principal axes and ranks. The rank for each axis in the principal set represents the significance of that axis as defined by the variance in the data along that axis. Thus, the first principal axis is the one with the greatest amount of scatter in the data and consequently the greatest amount of contrast and information, while the last principal axis represents the least amount of information.
