Introduction
1. What is Standard Deviation?
2. What is Variance ?
The last two measures we have looked at are purely 1-dimensional.
However many datasets have more than one dimension, the aim of the statistical
analysis is to see if there is any relationship between these dimensions.
For example, we might have as our data set both the height of all the students in a
class, and the mark they received for that paper. We could then perform statistical
analysis to see if the height of a student has any effect on their mark.

It is useful to have a measure to find out how much the dimensions vary from the
mean with respect to each other.
Covariance is such a measure. Covariance is always measured between 2
dimensions. If you calculate the covariance between one dimension and itself, you
get the variance
So, if you have a 3-dimensional data (x, y, z) then covariance will be calculated
Between x, y and y,z and z,x and x,x and y,y and z,z
Visit: Learnbay.co
Covariance result
● Positive
● Negative
● Zero
Is Cov(x,y) same as Cov(y,x)?
What is Covariance Matrix?
For a 3-Dimensional dataset, we can calculate Covariance etween x, y and y,zand
z,x

Eigenvalues and EigenVectors

Eigenvectors
As you know, two matrices can be multiplied if they are compatible. Eigen vectors
are special case. When you multiply with Eigenvectors, the resulting vector will be
a scalar multiplication ofthat vector.
What does this signify ?
Let us look atan example
Visit: Learnbay.co
The vector is a vector in 2 dimensional space. The vector (3 2 )T
(from the second example multiplication) represents an arrow pointing
from the origin (0,0) to (3 2)
The other matrix, the square one, can be thought of as a transformation matrix. If
you multiply this matrix on the left of a vector, the answer is another vector that is
transformed from it’s original position.

Few properties of Eigenvectors
● Given a 3x3 matrix, there are 3 eigenvectors
● Another property of eigenvectors is that even if I scale the vector by some
amount before I multiply it, I still get the same multiple of it as a result, as in
Figure 2.3. This is because if you scale a vector by some amount, all you are
doing is making it longer
● All Eigenvectors of a matrix are orthogonal. This is important because, we can
express the data instead of x,y axes
Visit: Learnbay.co
● Another important thing to know is that when mathematicians find
eigenvectors, they like to find the eigenvectors whose length is exactly one.
This is because, as you know, the length of a vector doesn’t affect whether it’s
an eigenvector or not, whereas the direction does. So, in order to keep
eigenvectors standard, whenever we find an eigenvector we usually scale it to
make it have a length of 1, so that all eigenvectors have the same length
For example,

Eigenvalues
Eigenvalues are closely related to Eigenvectors. Eigenvalue was 4 in our earlier
example. Notice even if v is scaled the eigenvalue still remains 4.

PCA …finally!
It is a way of identifying patterns in data, and expressing the data in such a way
as to highlight their similarities and differences.
The other main advantage of PCA is that once you have found these patterns in
the data, and you compress the data, ie. by reducing the number of dimensions,
without much loss of information.
Visit: Learnbay.co
Step: 1 Get data
Visit: Learnbay.co
Step: 2 Subtract mean
From all the points subtract the mean for PCAto work properly
Visit: Learnbay.co
Step: 3 Covariance Matrix
Visit: Learnbay.co
Step: 4
Calculate the Eigenvectors andEigenvalues for the Covariance Matrix
Visit: Learnbay.co
It is important to notice that these eigenvectors are both unit eigenvectors ie. their
lengths are both 1
If you look at the plot of the data in Figure 3.2 then you can see how the data has
quite a strong pattern. As expected from the covariance matrix, they two variables
do indeed increase together
Visit: Learnbay.co
What information does Eigenvectorsgive?
See how one of the eigenvectors goes through the middle of the points, like
drawing a line of best fit? That eigenvector is showing us how these two data sets
are related along that line. The second eigenvector gives us the other, less
important, pattern in the data, that all the points follow the main line, but are off to
the side of the main line by some amount.

Choosing the components
It turns out that the eigenvector with the highest eigenvalue is the principle
component of the data set. In our example, the eigenvector with the largest
eigenvalue was the one that pointed down the middle of the data. It is the most
significant relationship between the data dimensions
once eigenvectors are found from the covariance matrix, the next step is to order
them by eigenvalue, highest to lowest. This gives you the components in order of
significance.
Visit: Learnbay.co
Now, if you like, you can decide to ignore the components of lesser significance.
You do lose some information, but if the eigenvalues are small, you don’t lose
much. If you leave out some components, the final data set will have less
dimensions than the original.
