Factor Analysis
Nice PickDevelopers should learn factor analysis when working on data-intensive projects involving feature reduction, pattern recognition, or exploratory data analysis, such as in machine learning preprocessing or survey data interpretation
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for simplifying complex datasets, improving model performance by reducing multicollinearity, and gaining insights into hidden constructs in user behavior or system metrics
- +Related to: principal-component-analysis, cluster-analysis
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
