Graduate Course in Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
Principal component analysis (PCA) is a powerful tool in, for example, experimental sciences, where the goal is to evaluate the effect of a set of (many) variables. PCA often provides a tool to descibe experimental variation in significantly fewer variables than the original physical problem.

To pass the course and gain 4 points, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
- Active participation in classes. This means presenting at least one chapter, and contributing to discussions on other chapters.
- Article studies and seminar. A list of topics will be presented at course start. The assignment consists in reading and presenting the contents of one (or possibly a collection of a few) scientific papers in the field. The paper should be read as a "reviewer" would, that is, critically examine every aspect of the proposed theory.
To receive one extra point, the student must present a plan of how to use the presented methods in his/her own research. Written report with detailed plans, also summarizing the theory of the methods to be used.
