Table 4.
Variance explained by the principal components extracted from the cytokine data.
| Component | Initial eigenvalues | ||
| Total | % variance | Cumulative % | |
| 1 | 1.96 | 49.07 | 49.07 |
| 2 | 1.018 | 25.56 | 74.53 |
| 3 | 0.782 | 19.55 | 94.08 |
| 4 | 0.237 | 5.92 | 100 |
There were 4 principal components extracted from the data. The percentage of variance in the cytokine data explained by each of the components is given both individually and cumulatively showing that the first 2 components explained the greatest percentages.
