Andrew Murray and Ken Peters recently presented an interesting paper on mixing of oils and gas condensates, and the use of Alternating Least Squares (ALS) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) for interpreting such mixtures. The slides can be found at:Â https://lnkd. in/gn2uEsS.
In this article, which extends the piece in our newsletter, we explore what Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is, where it is useful, address some key points to be aware of in usage, and describe how to undertake PCA in p:IGI+.
