Finding and Analyzing Principal components of protein consumption

From different food sources

In European Countries

ABSTRACT

The data set contains Protein consumption (g per person per day) in 25 European countries. Here we

Measure the consumption of protein using 9 different food items for all 25 countries.

Here we consider Read meat, White meat, Eggs, Milk, Cereals, Starchy foods, Pulses/nuts and oilseeds, Fruits and vegetables as our 9 different food items.

Using those food items (variables) we try to understand the behavior of this data set and then we can predict conclusions.

Using principal component Analysis we try to simplify this data set and from it we can make predictions easily.

Here we only try to simplify this data using principal component analysis and make some conclusions based on that.
