Comprehensive Guide to 12 Dimensionality Reduction Techniques

Have you ever worked on a dataset with more than a thousand features? I have, and let me tell you it's a very challenging task, especially if you don't know where to start! Having a high number of variables is both a boon and a curse. It's great that we have loads of data for analysis, but it is challenging due to size. It's not feasible to analyze each and every variable at a microscopic level. It might take us days or months to perform any meaningful analysis and we'll lose a ton of time and money for our business! Not to mention the amount of computational power this will take. We need a better way to deal with high dimensional data so that we can quickly extract patterns and insights from it. So how do we approach such a dataset?
