classical PCA, we will stay with a statistical approach.
Historically, the PCA was first formulated in a statistical setting in order to estimate the principal component of a multivariate random variable.
We have a data set defined by a design/feature matrix $\bm{X}$ (see below for its definition)
* Each data point is determined by $p$ extrinsic (measurement) variables
* We may want to ask the following question: Are there fewer intrinsic variables (say $d << p$) that still approximately describe the data?
* If so, these intrinsic variables may tell us something important and finding these intrinsic variables is what dimension reduction methods do.
A good read is for example "Vidal, Ma and Sastry":"https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9780387878102".

This means that the variance for these elements will be zero and will
