13. One can easily calculate the percent <strong>of</strong> the total variability explained by each<br />

principal component.<br />

>> percent_explained = 100*variances/sum(variances)<br />

percent_explained =<br />

14. A "Scree" plot is a pareto plot <strong>of</strong> the percent variability explained by each principal<br />

component.<br />

>> pareto(percent_explained)<br />

>> xlabel('Principal Component')<br />

>> ylabel('Variance Explained (%)')<br />

We can see that the first three principal components explain roughly two thirds <strong>of</strong><br />

the total variability in the standardized ratings.
