Linear correlation analysis and PCA outputs.

Correlation table for 5 variables. Below the main diagonal are linear correlation coefficients. Upright are the no correlation probability (significant no correlation <0.05. Yellow highlights indicate significant probability of no correlation)

PCA outputs for 6 variables. Jollife cut-off method for significant PC. Yellow highlights indicate a significant PC.

PCA loadings for 6 variables.

Correlation table for 4 variables. Below the main diagonal (linear correlation coefficients). Upright the no correlation probability (significant correlation <0.05. Yellow highlights indicate significant probability of no correlation).

PCA outputs for 4 variables. Jollife cut-off method for significant PC. Yellow highlights indicate a significant PC.
