I would recommend Ozgur to type -help pca- and take a look at the pca entry
in Stata .pdf manual (as usual, a good place to start).

Seconding Maarten's previous remarks about libraries, I would point Ozgur to
two handbooks on this topic:

Alvin C. Rencher, William F. Christensen. Methods of Multivariate Analysis,
Third Edition. Wiley, 2012 (see
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781118391686)

Donald J. Treiman. Quantitative Data Analysis: Doing Social Research to Test
Ideas. Jossey-Bass, 2009, chapter 11 (not as sinister as chapter 11 would
sound in US!). (see
http://www.stata.com/bookstore/quantitative-data-analysis/; see also the
companion website:
http://www.ccpr.ucla.edu:8080/dtreiman/quantitative-data-analysis-stata-file
s-and-data-sets). 

Kind regards,
Carlo

Hi,

Is there any way of understanding the performance of Principal component
analysis ? How I can show that using PCA is a good idea or not ?


Kind regards, Ozgur
