## Abstract Component extraction techniques are used widely in the analysis and interpretation of highβdimensional climate datasets such as global sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Principal component analysis (PCA), a frequently used component extraction technique, provides an orthogonal representa

β¦ Synopsis
Difficulties identified in the use of performance measures to monitor and control manufacturing or assembly system behaviour justify the evaluation method presented in this paper. The ability to improve the effectiveness of both evaluation and decision-making tasks, based on the knowledge acquisition from operational data, is an important requirement for an effective planning and systems operation. The proposed evaluation method is based on the use of multivariate techniques -Principal Components Analysis and Cluster Analysisand will prevent the loss of information in each available set of measures and will promote effective use of data in the analysis of system performance.

In many large environmental datasets redundant variables can be discarded without the loss of extra variation. Principal components analysis can be used to select those variables that contain the most information. Using an environmental dataset consisting of 36 meteorological variables spanning 37 y
