-This paper aims to present a review of the many uses of the statistical method of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in the Engineering Biomedical field, aimed specially in those where PCA was used as a tool to diagnose pathologies in the last 5 years. An exploratory study was made through the use of bibliometrics, narrowing down the initial search to a final portfolio of 26 papers, providing the latest and state-of-the-art researches on the desired field of study. It was found that PCA has been used in a wide spectrum of areas with significant results, and all around the world. The main use is to reduce the dimensionality of the data to a few principal variables which can explain most of the variance present in the original data. There were studies which reduced from 14 to 50 variables into 1 to 6 principal components, while retaining in average 80% of the variance, and others reduced from 51 to 140 variables into as low as 2 components, keeping 68% to 99% of the variance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
