Chapter Chapter 11 in Multivariate Statistics, 2015, pp 183-203 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter addresses the issue of reducing the dimensionality of a multivariate random variable by using linear combinations (the principal components). The identified principal components are ordered in decreasing order of importance. When applied in practice to a data matrix, the principal components will turn out to be the factors of a transformed data matrix (the data will be centered and eventually standardized).
