CHAPTER 1 Data Mining and Analysis




1.7 EXERCISES

Q1. Show that the mean of the centered data matrix Z in Eq. (1.5) is 0.

Answer: Each centered point is given as: zi = xi − µ. Their mean is therefore:
n n
1X 1X
zi = (xi − µ)
n n
i=0 i=0
n
1X 1
= xi − · n · µ
n n
i=0

= µ−µ= 0



Q2. Prove that for the Lp -distance in Eq. (1.2), we have

d 
δ∞ (x, y) = lim δp (x, y) = max |xi − yi |
p→∞ i=1

for x, y ∈ Rd .

Answer: We have to show that

d
! p1
X d 
lim |xi − yi |p = max |xi − yi |
p→∞ i=1
i=1

Assume that dimension a is the max, and let m = |xa − ya |. For simplicity, we
assume that |xi − yi | < m for all i 6= a.
If we divide and multiply the left hand side with mp we get:

! p1  1
d 
X  X  |xi − yi | p
p
|xi − yi | p
m p
= m 1 + 
m m
i=1 i6=a
