-Let \\( R\\) be the \\(n\times p\\) matrix of these movie ratings, and let \\(X\\) be the centered version of \\(R\\) (namely, the mean of all the rows of \\(R\\) is subtracted out from each row of \\(R\\)). In this specific example, \\(n=61\\) and \\(p=26\\). From what we learned about PCA, the directions of maximum variance of the rows are captured by the eigenvectors of \\(X^TX\\). Let \\(V\\) be the matrix of eigenvectors of \\(X^TX\\), i.e. \\(V\\) is \\(p\times p\\) whose columns are the eigenvectors of \\(X^TX\\). Following convention, let the eigenvectors be arranged as the columns of \\(V\\), \\(\v_1\upto \v_n\\), with associated eigenvalues \\(\lambda_1\upto \lambda_p\\) satisfying \\(\lambda_1\ge \lambda_2\ge\cdots\ge \lambda_p\)). Therefore, we have for \\(i=1\upto p\\) that
