This paper proposes a tool for dimension reduction where the of original space is reduced: principal loading analysis. Principal analysis to reduce dimensions by discarding variables. The intuition that variables are dropped which distort covariance matrix only little. Our method introduced and an algorithm conducting provided. Further, we give bounds noise arising in sample case.
