Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PCA applied to yield curves

Prodded by User:Avraham as having no content or context, deprodded by User:Blotwell, adding a reference to what it's supposed to be about, but still no content (disregarding the figures, which should be in Yield curve, if anywhere) or context. Not expandable. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 16:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. PCA (now that context has been provided) could be applied to a mathematical model of yield curves. But no such model has been provided, and nothing more could be said other than that sentence. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and mark as stub. Maybe someone will expand it one day. --Gabi S. 17:29, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's just three graphs. Limited context, this is a dicdef at best. Ifnord 19:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The article does not make any sense to me. What is this "motion" thing? These curves are not wiggly worms, are they, that change shape as you look at them? What is on the horizontal axis of these curves? Isn't that time? So are there two kinds of time, a meta time for seeing how evolution in normal time evolves? And on whose authority does Wikipedia claim that shift, rotation and curvature are the three main movements? Rotation looks like pseudo scientific junk; it does not commute with linear scale transformations and can turn graphs of functions into non-functional graphs. "Curvature" does not appear to mean what curvature is supposed to mean. --Lambiam ^Talk 19:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
