摘要:Principal component analysis is a way to reduce original dimension, to make multiple variables into a fewcomprehensive index. According to the characteristics of water quality evaluation model, principal componentanalysis method is developed to evaluate surface water quality using SPSS software at representative sections.By the combination of variables index, adjusting the combinatorial coefficient to make the new variablesrepresentative independent. The process is introduced in the paper in detail. The results indicate that theprincipal component model is suitable for water quality evaluation. By analysis, it is important to pay attentionto bring into effective measures for pollution control.
