Analysis of the Relationship Between Economic Development and Environmental Pollution of Chemical Industry Based on Principal Component Analysis

Abstract

After respectively analyzing and evaluating the economic development level and environmental pollution status of chemical industry in 30 regions in China by using the principal component analysis (PCA) of multivariate statistical analysis, we obtain the comprehensive scores of the economic development and environmental pollution of chemical industry in all regions. Through the cluster analysis of the two groups of comprehensive scores, the 30 regions in China are divided into four categories. The analysis of the comprehensive status of the four categories of regions reveals the relationship between regional economic development and environmental pollution of chemical industry.
