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?
