Table 4 The number of components to truncate according the different truncation methods: the evaluation of a scree plot with visual localisation of the inflection point ("Scree plot method for truncation of principal components" section), the approach of Gavish and Donoho ("Analytical model-based methods for truncating principal components" section) and the anisotropy method ("Anisotropy method for truncation of principal components" section) with using the projected histograms and the anisotropy threshold of 0.5
