Considering I have a matrix ##\mathbf{A}## which has a size of ##M \times N##, how can I compute the Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) by Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)?

According to SVD, the matrix ##\mathbf{A}## is

##\mathbf{A} = \mathbf{U} \mathbf{\Sigma} \mathbf{V}^{T}##

where a superscript of ##T## denotes a transpose. Now, which are the EOFs in this equation, are they the rows of ##\mathbf{V}^{T}## or its columns (the rows of ##\mathbf{V}##)?

Thank you in advance.
 
Hi there. The EOFs are the columns of V^T.

This site helps me to figure this out https://pmc.ucsc.edu/~dmk/notes/EOFs/EOFs.html. Goodnight from your atemporal interested in orthostatics guy.

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
