Dimensional Reduction - Pros & Cons | Intellipaat
Dimensionality refers to how many input characteristics, variables, or columns are present in a given dataset, while dimensionality reduction refers to the process of reducing these features.

The dimensionality reduction technique on the given dataset has the benefits listed below:

  • By reducing the dimensionality of the features, less storage space is required to store the dataset.
  • Shorter calculation training times are required for features with lower dimension.
  • The dataset's reduced-dimension features make it simpler to quickly visualise the data.
  • The redundancy is eliminated because of the multicollinearity (if any are present).

 

The list of disadvantages of employing the dimensionality reduction additionally includes the following:

 

  • Data loss could occur as a result of the reduction in dimensionality.
  • In the PCA approach to reducing dimensionality, the key factors that must be taken into account are occasionally unknown.
