Create a label colored Principal Components Analysis (PCA)

[pierrelouisbescond]

Hi Everyone,

A few days ago I was asking if there was any way to produce labeled colored PCA with the "Principal Components" tool but the package used in the initial R distribution from Designer does not allow that.

I am happy to share a simple workflow, using R "factoextra" library that does the trick 😀 (many thanks to Elisa, a talented Data Scientist from my team, who helped me on that one since I am not R-fluent!)

First, you will need to have "factoextra" package installed. The code included in the R tool will check that for you and install the package if required but, in case the installation does not work, you can check this link for a manual installation.

Then, it is just a matter of linking your data source to the R-Tool and it will output a few charts, including a nice colored PCA like the one below:

Hope it will help so PCA-coloring-folks 😁
