Principal Components Plot

The plots of the Principal Components subreport show the spread of samples on the axis formed by the principal components that are estimated from the output relationship matrix. These plots help you visualize whether samples can be put into groups, in other words, if the samples belong to some subpopulation, which indicates the presence of population structure among individuals. The principal component scores of each individual can be extracted from the output table and used in subsequent analysis.
