This chapter presents two straightforward image projection techniques — two-dimensional (2D) image matrix-based principal component analysis (IMPCA, 2DPCA) and 2D image matrix-based Fisher linear discriminant analysis (IMLDA, 2DLDA). After a brief introduction, we first introduce IMPCA. Then IMLDA technology is given. As a result, we summarize some useful conclusions.

The first goal of this study was to determine whether Day's (1969) measure of loyalty could be extended to better understand travel service patronage. Findings provide clear support that this composite measure, of repeat purchase and loyal attitude, is an effective approach to distinguishing the loyal traveler. A cluster analysis that combined scores on the composite measure from 428 travelers supported a two-dimensional matrix that identified four types of loyalty: true, spurious, latent, and low. This accomplished the study's second purpose by confirming that the four distinct levels of loyalty exist in a variety of service settings. Discriminant analysis was used to achieve the third objective — To identify those characteristics that differentiate the truly loyal patron. The resulting profile found this traveler to be a highly satisfied, symbolically involved consumer drawn to those services that exhibit an empathetic, caring concern for their patrons. These findings generate a much clearer understanding of how service providers can measure and manage their returning patrons.
