Asymptotic Theory for Principal Component Analysis
Open accessAbstract
Abstract : The asymptotic distribution of the characteristic roots and (normalized) vectors of a sample covariance matrix is given when the observations are from a multivariate normal distribution whose covariance matrix has characteristic roots of arbitrary multiplicity. The elements of each characteristic vector are the coefficients of a principal component (with sum of squares of coefficients being unity), and the corresponding characteristic root is the variance of the principal component. Tests of hypotheses of equality of population roots are treated, and confidence intervals for assumed equal roots are given; these are useful in assessing the importance of principal components. A similar study for correlation matrices is considered. (Author)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
