Hello all,
I have a matrix X that contains industrial data, where each column is a variable.
Since PCA is done by the correlation matrix, should I use:
. original X;
. X after Centering (subtracting each column of X by the mean of the respective column);
.X after Standardizing? (subtracting each column of X by the mean and dividing by the standard deviation);
I think autoscaling is better, but I dont know if it is a must or just a good practice
Thanks for your time
