Abstract

In this brief note, we formulate Principal Component Analysis (PCA) over datasets consisting not of points but of distributions, characterized by their location and covariance. Just like the usual PCA on points can be equivalently derived via a variance-maximization principle and via a minimization of reconstruction error, we derive a closed-form solution for distributional PCA from both of these perspectives.
