Modeling Hurricanes using Principle Component Analysis in conjunction   with Non-Response Analysis
  This paper demonstrates how principle component analysis can be used to determine the distinct factors that house the terms that explain the variance among the co-dependent variables and how non-response analysis can be applied to model the non-functional relationship that exist in a dynamic system. Moreover, the analysis indicates that there are pumping actions or ebb and flow between the pressure and the water temperature readings near the surface of the water days before a tropical storm forms in the Atlantic Basin and that there is a high correlation between storm conditions and buoy conditions three-four days before a storm forms. Further analysis shows that that the relationship among the variables is conical.
