'Retrieving PCA variables coefficients from PCA components
I am trying to explain a final score in the final assessment (predicted variable) via the scores of continuous assessment in seven subjects (predictive variables), of course I proceed with an ACP.
I get two principal components, the first one is explained largely with 3 subjects and the second is explained with two other subjects
## eigenvalue variance.percent cumulative.variance.percent
## Dim.1 6.30728154 90.1040220 90.10402
## Dim.2 0.25481341 3.6401916 93.74421
## Dim.3 0.14504576 2.0720823 95.81630
## Dim.4 0.10560431 1.5086330 97.32493
## Dim.5 0.08744117 1.2491595 98.57409
## Dim.6 0.05931222 0.8473174 99.42141
## Dim.7 0.04050159 0.5785942 100.00000
The first two components explain 93% of the variance, but I want to know the contribution of each subject to each component, so I make this chart:
So as you can see, the ACP is not reducing the dimension as much as I expected, because we can see the only two subjects could be eliminated, from 7 variables to 5 variables isn't good enough, is it because of a problem with the data, its containing only 95 observations ??
Please help out, thanks
