Visualization PCs with a scree plot
In a machine learning interview, you may be asked what is the optimum number of features to keep. In this exercise you'll create a scree plot and a cumulative explained variance ratio plot of the principal components using PCA on loan_data.
This will help inform the optimal number of PCs for training a more accurate ML model going forward.
Since PCA is an unsupervised method, that means principal component analysis is performed on the X matrix having removed the target variable Loan Status from the dataset. Not setting n_components returns all the principal components from the trained model.
