PCA and SPCA analysis of metabolites in urine after 1H NMR analysis from TD and UPJO patients. (A) PCA scores with 87% of the variance explained on the first component and 2.1% on the second component. (B) SPCA scores with 86% of the variance explained on the first component and 2.2% on the second component. Fifty variables are selected on each component. SPCA allows the separation between groups. The different groups of samples are represented by colors: control (blue), TD (green), UPJO (red). The size of the dots varies according to the age of the patient in days (10 to 115). (C) Loadings plot from PCA with all variables and (D) Loadings plot from SPCA with 50 variables on each principal component.
