Abstract :
Multivariate statistical methods for the analysis of large quantities of data have been applied to problem solving in different domains during the last decades. This paper summarizes the main points of the principal components analysis (PCA) method and its robust fuzzy alternatives, and describes a few applications highlighting the practical usefulness of this approach.
