    8.1. Determine the population principal components Y1 and Y2 for the covariance
    matrix
     
    5 2
    Σ= .
    2 2

    Also, calculate the proportion of the total population variance explained by the first
    principal component. 
    8.3. Let
     
    2 0 0
    Σ= 0 4 0 
    0 0 4

    Determine the principal components Y1 , Y2 and Y3 . What can you say about the
    eigenvectors (and principal components) associated with eigenvalues that are not
    distinct? 
    8.4. Find the principal components and the proportion of the total population
    variance explained by each when the covariance matrix is
     2 
    σ σ2ρ 0
    1 1
    Σ =  σ2ρ σ2 σ2ρ  , −√ < ρ < √ . 
    0 σ2ρ σ2 2 2

    8.5. (a). Find the eigenvalues of the correlation matrix


     
    1 ρ ρ
    ρ =  ρ 1 ρ ,
    ρ ρ 1

    Are your results consistent with (8-16) and (8-17)?

    1
    (b). Verify the eigenvalue-eigenvector pairs for the p×p matrix ρ given in (8-15).
    8.6. Data on x1 = sales and x2 = profits for the 10 largest companies in the
    world were listed in Exercise 1.4 of Chapter 1. From Example 4.12,
       
    155.60 7476.45 303.62
    x̄ = , S= .
    14.70 303.62 26.19

    (a). Determine the sample principal components and their variances for these
    data. (You may need the quadratic formula to solve for the eigenvalues of S).
    (b). Find the proportion of the total sample variance explained by ŷ1 .
    (c). Sketch the constant density ellipse (x − x̄)0 S−1 (x − x̄) = 1.4, and indicate
    the principal components ŷ1 and ŷ2 on your graph.
    (d). Compute the correlation coefficients rŷ1 ,xk , k = 1, 2. What interpretation, if
    any, can you give to the first principal component?
