Q&A Section
- Q: How do you calculate the theoretical R for section 2.2? I've calculated the Rhat 2x2 matrix, however I'm not sure how to calculate the theoretical one.
- A - The theoretical values are the known values of the covariance you used to generate the samples in Section 2.1.
- More specifically, they are the values of Rx given in equation (14) of section 2.1.
- Q: I don't understand what is have to be produced in section 4 for the projection coefficients. It is an image or a regular plot? The paragraph describing that procedure is not too clear for me.
- Q: Do the answers to Section 4 have to match with those provided in the pdf file Examples posted under course notes. Is the training data the same? For me, out of the 12 eigen images 9-10 match but a couple don't. Also, the projection coefficient variation is somewhat different.
- Q: Section 4 asks for the plots for the 12 largest eigenvalues. How can these be determined once the SVD is calculated from Z?
