RT journal article T1 Supporting vectors vs. principal components A1 Márquez Lozano, Almudena del Pilar A1 García Pacheco, Francisco Javier A1 Mengibar-Rodríguez, Míriam A1 Sánchez Alzola, Alberto A2 Estadística e Investigación Operativa A2 Matemáticas K1 bounded linear operator K1 Hilbert space K1 mean operator K1 principal components K1 supporting vector AB Let T : X -> Y be a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces X, Y. A vector x(0) is an element of S-X in the unit sphere S-X of X is called a supporting vector of T provided that parallel to T(x(0))parallel to = sup{parallel to T(x)parallel to : parallel to x parallel to = 1} = parallel to T parallel to. Since matrices induce linear operators between finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, we can consider their supporting vectors. In this manuscript, we unveil the relationship between the principal components of a matrix and its supporting vectors. Applications of our results to real-life problems are provided.
