By multiplying this expression for the covariance matrix ''C'' with the vector φ<sub>k</sub> it is easy to show that the topos φ<sub>k</sub> are the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix ''C'', and λ<sub>k</sub><sup>2</sup> the corresponding eigenvalues. | By multiplying this expression for the covariance matrix ''C'' with the vector φ<sub>k</sub> it is easy to show that the topos φ<sub>k</sub> are the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix ''C'', and λ<sub>k</sub><sup>2</sup> the corresponding eigenvalues. | ||
