Dear prof Andrew J, I've been reading your article in the Journal of Multivariate Analysis called Dimensionality reduction for binary data through the projection of natural parameters. As far as I know, you obtained the principal component score by establishing the relationship between the natural parameters of the saturation model and the natural parameters of the Bernoulli distribution. I try to generate high-dimensional related binary data by cutting quantiles through mixed multivariate normal distribution, and get the principal component of binary data from the R package you provided, and predict the principal component score of new data. Surprisingly, the generation method of new data is the same, only the random-seed is different. But the final predicted principal component scores varied widely. So I would like to ask you how to understand this phenomenon? I am looking forward to your early reply. Yours sincerely
