Abstract
In previous papers, we propose a generalized principal component analysis (GPCA) aimed to display salient features of a multidimensional data set, in particular the existence of clusters. In the light of an example, this article evidences how GPCA and clustering methods are complementary. The projections provided by GPCA and the sequence of eigenvalues give useful indications on the number and the type of clusters to be expected; submitting GPCA principal components to a clustering algorithm instead of the raw data can improve the classification. The use of a convenient robustification of GPCA is also evoked.
