... Among the objectives of Principal Components Analysis are the following. dimensionality reduction; љ . the determining of linear combinations of variables; љ . ... identification of groups of objects or of outliers. ... Finding a set of principal axes allows the objects to be adequately characterised on a smaller number of (artificial) variables. ... Reduction of dimensionality is practicable if the first new axes account for approximately 75 % or more of the variance. ...

Data in GIPSY is stored in so called sets . A set consists of two components: an image component and a descriptor component. These components are stored in separate files, but in GIPSY they are always used together. The image data is stored in a `crystalline' structure with a virtually unlimited (up to 20) number of d
