运用SPSS统计软件中主成分因子分析法,以2006级园林班第一学年的各门课程考试成绩为实例,对大学生的主要学科成绩进行统计分析,并根据综合得分给出了该班学生的排名,该结果比较客观地反映了学生在第一学年中各科学习上的表现。

In this paper, the principal component analysis, the submenu of the popular statistical software SPSS, was employed to analyze the college student＇ s academic performance based on their test scores in one academic year. And the students＇ sort was obtained by their resulting score （discriminant score）, which was different from the ordering according to the obtained score. So, the result suggested that ordering on the base of discriminant score estimated with PCA might be more reasonable than that on the base of obtained score.
