+====== Using Principal Component Analysis in Biomechanics ======
+{{:SIFT_PCA_Example.png}}
+Sift provides a number of ways to visualize and interact with the results of PCA. An overview of all PCA visualizations can be found in [[Sift:Application:Analyse_Page#Principal_Component_Analysis|Sift - Analyse Page]]. More detail on the mathematics behind PCA can be found on our page: [[Sift:Principal_Component_Analysis:The_Math_of_Principal_Component_Analysis_(PCA)|The Math of Principal Component Analysis (PCA)]].
+This page includes:
+  * Visualizing the [[Sift:Application:Analyse_Page#Variance_Explained|variance explained by each PC individually]];
+  * Visualizing the [[Sift:Application:Analyse_Page#Loading_Vector|variance explained by each PC at each point in the signal's cycle]];
+  * [[Sift:Application:Analyse_Page#Workspace_Scores|Scatter-plotting workspace scores]] in PC-space;
+  * Showing the [[Sift:Application:Analyse_Page#Group_Scores|distribution of scores by group]] for each PC;
+  * Visualizing the [[Sift:Application:Analyse_Page#Extreme_Plot|mean and extreme values]] that result from reconstructing the underlying data with each PC; and
+  * Visualizing how the signals can be [[Sift:Application:Analyse_Page#PC_Reconstruction|reconstructed from the computed PCs]].
+==== Further Analysis ====
+Sift has several built in modules to take you further with you PCA Analysis:
+  * [[sift:principal_component_analysis:outlier_detection_for_pca|Outlier Detection for PCA:]] An overview of the PCA outlier detection methods built into Sift.
+  * [[Sift:Principal_Component_Analysis:Mahalanobis_Distance_and_SPE_Dialog|Mahalanobis Distances:]] Finding outliers through their Mahalanobis Distances.
+  * [[Sift:Principal_Component_Analysis:Mahalanobis_Distance_and_SPE_Dialog|Squared Prediction Error:]] Finding outliers through their SPE.
+  * [[Sift:Principal_Component_Analysis:Local_Outlier_Factor_Dialog|Local Outlier Factors:]] Finding outliers through the Local Outlier Factor.
+  * [[sift:tutorials:run_k-means|K-Means Analysis:]] Clustering PCA results through K-Means clustering.
