Visualizing high-dimensional data with PCA

It is easy to discover patterns by visualizing data with two or three dimensions. A high-dimensional dataset cannot be represented graphically, but we can still gain some insights into its structure by reducing it to two or three principal components. Collected in 1936, Fisher's Iris dataset is a collection of fifty samples from each of three species of Iris: Iris setosa, Iris virginica, and Iris versicolor. The explanatory variables are measurements of the length and width of the petals and sepals of the flowers. The Iris dataset is commonly used to test classification models, and is included with scikit-learn.
