The most popularly used dimensionality reduction algorithm is Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Which of the following is/are true about PCA?
A
PCA is an unsupervised method
B
It searches for the directions that data have the largest variance
C
Maximum number of principal components <= number of features
D
All principal components are orthogonal to each other
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most popularly used dimensionality reduction algorithm is Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Which of the following is/are true about PCA? Explanation: All options are self-explanatory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Principal Component Analysis(PCA) is one of the most popular linear dimension reduction algorithms. It is a projection based method that transforms the data by projecting it onto a set of orthogonal(perpendicular) axes.

Detailed explanation-3: -PCA helps us to identify patterns in data based on the correlation between features. In a nutshell, PCA aims to find the directions of maximum variance in high-dimensional data and projects it onto a new subspace with equal or fewer dimensions than the original one.

Detailed explanation-4: -The principal components in PCA are linear combinations of the initial variables that maximize the variance explained by the data. Principal components are calculated using the correlation matrix.
