... Among the objectives of Principal Components Analysis are the following. dimensionality reduction; љ . the determining of linear combinations of variables; љ . ... identification of groups of objects or of outliers. ... Finding a set of principal axes allows the objects to be adequately characterised on a smaller number of (artificial) variables. ... Reduction of dimensionality is practicable if the first new axes account for approximately 75 % or more of the variance. ...

... The fitting procedure will only converge to a unique solution if the components are linearly independent. ... The task calculates for each pair of component images and fails with an error if any is greater than 0.99. ... Hence components may be linearly independent in masked pixels yet still fail the test within the task. ... Finally, since the Poisson image values are necessarily all , negative values are not allowed in the model components. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...
