... 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 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. ...

... To avoid extensive numerical calculations in the statistical simulations, we treat the continuous evolution of each binary component as a sequence of a finite number of basic evolutionary states (for example, main sequence, red (super)giant, helium (Wolf-Rayet) star,     hot WD), in which stellar parameters significantly differ from each other. ... Figure 2: Schematic representation of the typical evolutionary track of a massive binary system with normal and compact star stages indicated. ...
