PCA(II)
Linear Algebra Involved Given, the data set X(mxn matrix) where m is the number of measurement types and n is the number of samples.Mathematically ,the goal is to find some orthonormal matrix P in Y=PX such that is a diagonal matrix.The rows of P are the principal components of X. Let’s state some elementary linear […]
