What are the mathematical steps to get loadings and scores matrices of a 3x3 matrix basing of PCA and what is the relationship relating eigenvalues eigenvectors with loadings and score?
In today's pattern recognition class my professor talked about PCA, eigenvectors and eigenvalues.   I understood the mathematics of it. If I'm asked to find eigenvalues etc. I'll do it correctly like a machine. But I didn't understand it. I didn't get the purpose of it. I didn't get the feel of it.        I strongly believe in the following quote:     You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother. -- Albert Einstein   Well, I can't explain these concepts to a layman or grandma.   Why PCA, eigenvectors &amp; eigenvalues? What was the need for these concepts? How would you explain these to a layman?
As homework, I have to prove that     $\forall n \in \mathbb{N}: n^3-n$ is divisible by 6   I used induction  1) basis: $A(0): 0^3-0 = 6x$ , $x \in \mathbb{N}_0$ // the 6x states that the result is a multiple of 6, right?  2) requirement: $A(n):n^3-n=6x$  3) statement: $A(n+1): (n+1)^3-(n+1)=6x$  4) step: $n^3-n+(n+1)^3-n=6x+(n+1)^3-n$  So when I resolve that I do get the equation: $n^3-n=6x$ so the statement is true for $\forall n \in \mathbb{N}$  Did I do something wrong or is it that simple? Why can't I import a file in the init.m file? How does LSTM prevent the vanishing gradient problem? LSTM was invented specifically to avoid the vanishing gradient problem. It is supposed to do that with the Constant Error Carousel (CEC), which on the diagram below (from ) correspond to the loop around cell.  (source: ) And I understand that that part can be seen as a sort of identity function, so the derivative is one and the gradient stays constant. What I don't understand is how it does not vanish due to the other activation functions ? The input, output and forget gates use a sigmoid, which derivative is at most 0.25, and g and h were traditionally tanh. How does backpropagating through those not make the gradient vanish ? If you provide 0 as the dayValue in Date.setFullYear you get the last day of the previous month:  d = new Date(); d.setFullYear(2008, 11, 0); //  Sun Nov 30 2008   There is reference to this behaviour at . Is this a reliable cross-browser feature or should I look at alternative methods? If I have an object implementing the Map interface in Java and I wish to iterate over every pair contained within it,  what is the most efficient way of going through the map?  Will the ordering of elements depend on the specific map implementation that I have for the interface? Can I install Microsoft Office? If so, how? I want to know how to install Microsoft Office (specifically, Microsoft Office 2010) in Ubuntu?   I am a die hard fan of MS Office and I want to know if there is a way I can use it in Ubuntu. not working in Phonegap app on Android 2.3.3 Let $ D = 2^\mathbb{N} $, i.e., D is the set of all sets of natural numbers.   What's the meaning of this definition? Intuitively, I would suggest that $ D = \{1,2,4,...\} $ but the explanation "set of all sets" leads me to the guess that this is wrong. I'm going down my huge backlog of unplayed Steam games and I'm thinking the best way to tackle the list is to go through the shortest games first and then concentrate on the 20+ hour ones. I'm wondering if there's a website or something else that has an estimated amount of gameplay time for games.   Is there anything like that? Is there a general formula for image size vs. print size? What size images do I need for common print sizes, such as wallet size, 8x10, and 16x20?  Is there a general formula?  How could that size change if, for example, a 16x20 was printed on canvas rather than photopaper? How to create dynamic JSF form fields Let $a,b,c,x,y,z&gt;0$ and $x+ y+ z= 1$. Show that $$ax+ by+ cz\geq  a^{x}.b^{y}.c^{z}$$ I have found the generalization of this inequality: For 2 sets of numbers $\left \{ a_{i} \right \}, \left \{ b_{i} \right \}&gt; 0$ and $\sum_{1}^{n}b_{i}= 1$, we have: $$\sum_{1}^{n}\left ( a_{i}b_{i} \right )\geq  \prod_{1}^{n}\left ( a_{i}^{b_{i}} \right )$$ First solution Simply compare the logs: as the natural logarithm is a concave function, one has $$\ln\bigl(a^x b^y c^z)=x\ln a+y\ln b+z\ln c\le \ln(ax+by+cz)$$ for all non-negative $x,y,z$ such that $x+y+z=1$. How about another solution? I really hope to see that. Thanks! How can I backup my RAW photos while travelling without Internet access? This question seems similar to , but my needs are different :   I shoot in RAW exclusively I'm looking for a 100% offline solution: while traveling, Internet won't be accessible the "laptop" solution is too heavy for me: I'm looking for a lightweight solution the simplest, the better: one device to rule them all   EDIT:  I'm using good old Compact Flash cards (yes, the bigger ones), so I need a device that can read it. If it can read from other cards, this question might be interesting for more people than myself  - that's the whole purpose of the website.    Also asked by :  Portable Storage Device while traveling  I need storage device which is able to read CF cards and make a backup of my photos while traveling. I do not want to carry laptop (it's bulky) and tablet (too little storage) but looking into some other solutions.   So far I found:   Epson PXXXX - price is blocker for me Jobo Giga Vu - same as above Nexto DI - bit better, but still a lot Hyperdrive Colorspace UDMA - this looks the best for price/options Wolwerine PicPac - cheap, bad opinions DigitalFoci PhotoSafe - same as above Ex-Pro® Picture 2 Drive - didn't find much about it   So ladys &amp; gents what do you use? Should my first trip be to the country which issued my Schengen Visa? In my cover letter I want to write that I am a graduate student in statistics. But I am not sure about the "in". So what is correct?     I am a graduate student in statistics.      I am a graduate student of statistics.

I'm writing a report, in LaTeX. And I need to include, as appendices, other latex documents I have written. I am currently doing this using pdfpages and it works. However, the inserted PDF has no page numbers and it overlays my base documents page numbering, resulting in no page numbers on the PDF pages. My questions:   How to solve the above problem. Is there a better way to do this. Unitl now I haven't found the option to enable the curved representation of connectors between nodes. The  doesn't mention such an  option. Is there a keyboard shortcut?
