Possible bug in PCA node

I just would like to report that I was confronted with the same PCA node bug as reported earlier on the old Knime forum https://www.knime.com/forum/knime-general/problem-pca-node-computes-all-projections-regardless-of-settings by @iprotsyuk. I would have liked to attach an example workflow, but unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce it.

Cheers

Bug succesfully reproduced:

KNIME_project.knwf (12.2 KB)

Note that the PCA node settings are set to “reduce to 2 dimensions”, but out come all 7 dimensions. I think this happens whenever something changes in the set of columns that are sent into the PCA node.

Hello Aswin -

Thanks for the bug report, and for the workflow that reproduces the problem. I can confirm that I’m seeing the same behavior on my machine. I’ll update the ticket for this issue in our system.
