Bblue

CNeither
Principal component analysis (PCA) involves a mathematical procedure that transforms a number of (possibly) correlated variables into a (smaller) number of uncorrelated variables called principal components. The first principal component
accounts for as much of the variability in the data as possible, and each succeeding component accounts for as much of the remaining variability as possible.
The first principal component corresponds to the greatest variance in the data. The blue line is evidently this first principal component, because if we project the data onto the blue line, the data is more spread out (higher variance) than if projected
onto any other line, including the yellow one.
