Reducing Dimensionality with Principal Component Analysis
CRM data can get very extensive. Each metric you collect could carry some interesting information about your customers. But handling a dataset with too many variables is difficult. Learn how to reduce the number of variables in your data using principal component analysis. Not only does this help to get a better understanding of your data. PCA also enables you to condense information to single indices and to solve multicollinearity problems in a regression analysis with many intercorrelated variables.
