The time traces ''Y(i,j)'' for fixed ''j'' are usually sampled at a fixed rate; however the measurement locations ''x(j)'' need not be ordered in any specific way.

The &lambda;<sub>k</sub> are the eigenvalues (sorted in decreasing order), where ''k=1,...,min(N,M)'', and directly represent the square root of the fluctuation energy contained in the corresponding mode.

where ''S'' is a diagonal ''N&times;M'' matrix and ''S<sub>kk</sub>'' = &lambda;<sub>k</sub>, the columns of ''U'' (''N&times;N'') are the chronos and the columns of ''V'' (''M&times;M'') are the topos.
 
Thus, the oscillations of the spatiotemporal fluctuating field are represented by means of a very small number of spatio-temporal modes that are constructed from the data themselves, without prejudice regarding the mode shape.

Using the above expansion of ''Y'' and the orthogonality relations, it is easy to show that the topos ''&phi;<sub>k</sub>'' are the eigenvectors of the correlation matrix ''C'', and ''&lambda;<sub>k</sub><sup>2</sup>'' the corresponding eigenvalues.
Substituting the above expansion of ''Y'' and using the orthogonality relations, one obtains:
 
:<math>C(j_1,j_2) = \sum_k {\lambda_k^2 \phi_k(j_1)\phi_k(j_2)}</math>
 
The technique is therefore ideally suited to perform cross correlation analyses of multipoint measurements.
 
By multiplying this expression for the correlation matrix ''C'' with the vector &phi;<sub>k</sub> it is easy to show that the topos &phi;<sub>k</sub> are the eigenvectors of the correlation matrix ''C'', and &lambda;<sub>k</sub><sup>2</sup> the corresponding eigenvalues.
