I have a question about the functioning of PCA. I have a dataset with only 2 categorical attributes out of 9. Is it good to calculate pca between those two? Does it help me understanding anything special? here's my dataset
thanks

$\begingroup$ What do you mean by PCA between those two? PCA is a way to understand the structure of the data as a whole, not necessarily about inner relationships $\endgroup$ – Valentin Calomme May 8 '20 at 11:37

PCA is not recommended for categorical features. There are equivalent algorithms for categorical features like CATPCA and MCA.
