Survey data sets are often deceptively complex because surveys collect a wide variety of data covering a wide variety of topics and experiences. To further the complexity of survey data, the respondents answering the questions come from a wide variety of backgrounds and stages in their customer journey. It is reasonable that it would be a challenge to boil down survey data into actionable insights because it can be deceptively complex.

With large sets of data, Principal Component Analysis or PCA is a useful tool that reduces and transforms variables to a leaner form that allows for a speedier analysis. In this project you will gain hands-on experience with the principles of Principal Component Analysis using survey data. To do this you will work in the free-to-use spreadsheet software Google Sheets.

By the end of this project, you will be able to confidently apply Principal Component Analysis concepts to transform large sets of variables into a leaner set of data that still contains the most relevant information.

Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
