PCA and Politics #3

Closed ijyliu closed 3 years ago

ijyliu commented 3 years ago

Something PCA is really good at seems to be defining some sort of "dimension" in very abstract data. For example, political opinions. I saw something on Twitter where a data scientist had made a PCA that let you compare your policy opinions to those of economists and told you who you were most similar to.

Possibly applicable to #6 if political opinion should be modeled in this way

Political opinions + voterturnours + other political variables may be used to extract voters preferences via factor analysis
