How to determine the number of dominant eigenvalues in PCA
Dear All,
I want to know if there is some easy and reliable way
to estimate the number of dominant eigenvalues
when applying PCA on sample covariance matrix.

corresponding eigenvalues (a1,a2,..., an) arranged in desceding order.
So this x-y plot will be a decreasing curve. Someone mentioned using the elbow (knee)
