4. How? In MatLab – evects = princomp(allFruit); b1=evects(:,1); b2=evects(:,2); Z1=allFruit*b1; Z2=allFruit*b2; scatter(Z1,Z2);

5. Real World Example 59 dimensions 3500 genes Very useful in exploratory data analysis Sometimes useful as a direct tool (MCU)

6. But We’re Not Scared of the Details Given – Data matrix M (feature vectors for all examples) Generate – covariance matrix for M (Σ) – Eigenvectors (principal components) from covariance matrix MΣ Eigenvectors

7. Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues Each Eigenvector is accompanied with an Eigenvalue The Eigenvector with the greatest Eigenvalue points along the axis of greatest variance

8. Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues If use only first principal component very little degradation of data Have reduced dimensions from 2 to 1

13. Eigenvector – Linear transform of the Eigenvector using Σ as the transformation matrix resulting in a parallel vector M Σ EigenvectorsProject Data

14. Eigenvector How to find – Σ is an nxn matrix – There will be n Eigenvectors – Eigenvectors ≠ 0 – Eigenvalues ≠ 0

15. Eigenvector A is invertible if and only if det(A)  0 If (A- v) is invertible then: But it is given that v  0 so must not be invertible Not invertible so det(A- v) = 0

16. Eigenvector First, solve for the by performing the following operations: If solve for will get 2 roots, 1 and 2.

17. Eigenvector Now that the Eigenvalues have been acquired we can solve for the Eigenvector (v below). Know Σ, know, know I, so becomes homogeneous system of equations (equal to 0) with the entries of v as the variables Already know that there is no unique solution – The only way there is a unique solution is if the trivial solution is only solution. – If this were the case it would be invertible

21. Axis of Greatest Variance? Equation for an ellipse D, E, and F have to do with translation A and C related to the ellipse’s spread along the X and Y axes, respectively B has to do with rotation

22. Axis of Greatest Variance Mathematicians discovered that any ellipse can be exactly captured by a symmetric matrix Covariance matrix is symmetric The Eigenvectors of the said matrix point along the principal axes of the ellipse Origin of the name (principal components analysis) AB/2 C Related to spread along x axis (variance of data along x axis) Related to spread along y axis Related to rotation (covariance)

34. Rotation Good search terms: rotation of axes conic sections Note that in the sections above dealing with the ellipse, hyperbola, and the parabola, the algebraic equations that appeared did not contain a term of the form xy. However, in our “Algebraic View of the Conic Sections,” we stated that every conic section is of the form Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 where A, B, C, D, E, and F are constants. In essence, all of the equations that we have studied have had B=0. So the question arises: “What role, if any, does the xy term play in conic sections? If it were present, how would that change the geometric figure?” First of all, the answer is NOT that the conic changes from one type to another. That is to say, if we introduce an xy term, the conic does NOT change from an ellipse to a hyperbola. If we start with the standard equation of an ellipse and insert an extra term, an xy term, we still have an ellipse. So what does the xy term do? The xy term actually rotates the graph in the plane. For example, in the case of an ellipse, the major axis is no longer parallel to the x-axis or y-axis. Rather, depending on the constant in front of the xy term, we now have the major axis rotated. Let’s look at an example. * Example

35. rotation A is related to elongation in x direction C is related to elongation in y direction B is related to rotation (B is not equal to zero if and only if there is rotation) D, E, and F related to h and k (x and y shift, (x-h), (y-k)) D, E, and F not affected by rotation A and C are affected

36. Standard equation Standard equation of the ellipse is: a = 5 and b = 2 Hence: The length of major axes is: 2a = 10. The length of minor axes is: 2b = 4.

37. New rotated coordinate system Coordinate Rotation Formulas – If a rectangular xy-coordinate system is rotated through an angle θ to form an x’y’ coordinate system, then a point P(x; y) will have coordinates P(x’; y’) in the new system, where (x; y) and (x’; y’) are related by x = x’ cos θ − y' sin θ and y = x' sin θ + y' cos θ : and x' = x cos θ + y sin θ and y' = −x sin θ + y cos θ :

38. rotation The values of h and k give horizontal and vertical (resp.) translation distances, and t gives rotation angle (measured in degrees). Notice how changes in these transformation values affect the coefficients, and how changes in the coefficients affect the transformations. The lines shown in green in the graph are the following key lines for the conic sections: the major and minor axes for ellipses (crossing at the center of the ellipse), the axis of symmetry and perpendicular line through the vertex for a parabola (crossing at the vertex), and the two perpendicular axes of symmetry (crossing through the center point) for a hyperbola. In all cases, the two lines cross at the point (h,k), and are rotated from the position parallel to the coordinate axes by t degrees. In graphs of hyperbolas, the asymptotes of the hyperbola are shown as orange lines. If B2-4AC<0, then the graph is an ellipse (if B=0 and A=C in this case, then the graph is a circle) One other important formula determines the relationship between the coefficients and the angle of rotation: tan(2t)=B/(A-C). Note that rotation has no effect on the values of the coefficients D, E, and F, and that t=0 (no rotation) if and only if B=0. The values of the coordinates of the point (h,k) are best determined from the coefficients by first reversing the effect of the rotation (so that B=0), then completing the squares.
