Simple question...
If I have a set of variables and perform a PCA to create from them a few non-correlated variables, will the slope coefficients for these principal components (in a linear model) be the same no matter how (order,etc) they are entered into the model?
For instance, I would like it if after the following two functions were fit, B1 from the first and second function would be the same.
y = int + B1*PC1 + B2*PC2 + B3*PC3
y = int + B1*PC1
thanks,
seth |

Yes, provided the model contains no non-PC predictors that are
correlated with the PCs.

B1 should be the same in both models.
