What is recorded here?
Derived principal-component analysis for a set of statistical variables, explained its geometry and illustrated solution methods for replacing correlated variables with ordered linear components.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is Hotelling’s exact 1933 two-part paper. Pearson’s earlier principal-axis work, later matrix algorithms, factor analysis and downstream applications retain separate attribution.
