Why do we reduce dimension of

Pattern Recognition (PR) is the process of identifying or feature vectors?
classifying objects, patterns, or signals based on their features and Dimensionality reduction is the process of reducing the number of
regularities. It is a key area in machine learning, computer vision, features (or dimensions) in a dataset while preserving as much of the
