On the Use of Component Scores in the Presence of Group Structure

William R. Dillon; Narendra Mulani; Donald G. Frederick

Abstract

Examination of the properties of component scores in the presence of group structure shows that the first few components extracted, typically viewed as most informative regarding total variance, do not necessarily contain the most information across group differences. A method for identifying informative components that account for across group differences is presented and illustrated.
