Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to explain the variance-covariance structure of a set of variables through linear combinations of those variables. PCA is thus often used as a technique for reducing dimensionality. There are two primary reasons for using PCA: Data Reduction PCA is most commonly used to condense the information contained in a large number of original variables into a smaller set of new composite variables or dimensions, at the same time ensuring a minimum loss of information. Interpretation PCA can be used to discover important features of a large data set. It often reveals relationships that were previously unsuspected, thereby allowing interpretations of the data that may not be concluded from ordinary examination of the data. PCA is typically used as an intermediate step in data analysis when the number of input variables is otherwise too large to perform useful analysis. source: http://biit...

In the recent few years many online web based patent intelligence system has emerged, proving mostly the basic intelligence and few other important intelligence as well. An article on " Second or third-age patent analytics platforms: which one are you using? " by John F.

According to author if answer to the following question is YES then you are using old generation system. It has inaccurate patent ownership information. Database has many similar players with spelling variations or sister companies or name variations, etc. It doesn’t work on mobile devices, tablets or Macintosh computers. It doesn’t automatically adjust for recent company acquisitions.  It asks you to select data sets or fields before searching.  This search approach is a design artifa...
