Pca is a useful statistical method that has found application in a variety of elds and is a common technique for nding patterns in data of high dimension. Principal component analysis is used to extract the important information from a multivariate data table and to express this information as a set of few new variables called principal components. I have always preferred the singular form as it is compatible with factor analysis, cluster analysis, canonical correlation analysis and so on, but had no clear idea whether the singular or plural form was more frequently used.
