Extended Data Fig. 3: Comparison of EFA to PCA.

From: Principled distillation of UK Biobank phenotype data reveals underlying structure in human variation

Extended Data Fig. 3

a) The expected absolute correlations across the 36 EFA factors and principal components. b) For each of the 36 EFA factors, the proportion of variance explained by all 36 PCs. c and d) Per-item scatterplots of scoring coefficients for factors vs. PCs across thematically similar pairs, demonstrating sparser loadings amongst the factor scoring coefficients vs. the PC scoring coefficients.
