Given a n x n matrix A,
c: eigenvalue of A
x: the corresponding eigenvector if:
Ax = cx x �= 0
x cx
A
O O
Symmetric A
AX=XC
A = X C XT (for symmetric A)
since XT = X-1 for orthonormal matrices
X = an orthonormal basis of Rn
Properties of Symmetric A
maxn x� Ax
x∈R
Show that:
(a) Entry (i, i) of XTAX is ci, the i-th eigenvalue of A
(b) Entry (i, j) of XTAX is 0, when i is not equal to j
Covariance Matrix
where: 1 �n
µ= xi
n i=1
Covariance Matrix
where: 1 �n
µ= xi
n i=1
Properties:
1. Entry at row i, column j is covariance of coord. i and coord. j
2. Symmetric
3. Positive semi-definite (0 or positive eigenvalues)
