  • PCA with Binary outcomes

    Hello All,
    hope you are fine and safe.

    I have data for access to water, with binary options yes or no (1 & 0).
    How to do PCA with binary variable data?

    Thanks in Advance

    Sounds like you have one variable, but PCA is for multiple variables. So that cannot work.

    This sounds like an XY problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem . Can you tell us more about what you want to do. Why you think you need to do a P'CA, what you hope to get out of that PCA, what your data looks like.

      Thanks for the replay.

      I have five variables like that having binary options, not only one variable.
