  • @fartissimo
    @fartissimo 5 років тому +14

    I enjoy your videos and you are performing a valuable service. The few things I would mention that would be helpful are that PCA is really a measure of covariance in a sample and that PCA does NOT provide ANY indication of statistical significance. Understanding Covariance is helpful to really understand PCA. Also, PCA is particularly useful when patterns emerge between experimental and non-experimental parameters. If patterns associated with experimental parameters are observed (i.e. treatment conditions) it indicates that there may be changes between samples/populations that are of interest; in cases where there are patterns associated with non-experimental parameters (such as collection date or incubation conditions) it indicates that the date of collection resulted in more variance than experimental parameters. In such a case, it points to a possible flaw in experimental design so that it would be of benefit to re-evaluate sample collection/preparation/incubation etc... in the workflows to minimize the influence on the studied populations.

    I am fan of your videos and the way you explain. Most part of this video, and more prominently after 3:52, it started appearing like the plots of cells whereas it is really the plot of Genes and Cells are the dimentions of those Genes..

    • @statquest
      @statquest  Рік тому

      The video is correct - if you do PCA based on correlations, you start with plots of genes and end up with plots of cells. This is confusing and one of the reasons I don't think it's a good idea to teach PCA from the perspective of correlations. However, people still do it, so I have this video. However, in my opinion, an easier to understand method (because we plot cells the entire time) is the more modern approach that uses SVD and is explained in this video: ua-cam.com/video/FgakZw6K1QQ/v-deo.html
