Figure 1.
A scree plot showing eigenvalue against component number with a sharp drop after component 1 and a gradual decline thereafter.The scree plot depicts eigenvalue on the y-axis and component number on the x-axis from 1 to 13. The first component has an eigenvalue near 6, followed by a steep drop to about 1.3 at component 2. From component 3 onward, values gradually decline from around 1 to below 0.5 by component 13, forming a flattened curve.
