Principal component analysis of spectral line data: analytic formulation

CB is funded in part by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council grant ST/J001627/1 (‘From Molecular Clouds to Exoplanets’) and the ERC grant ERC-2011-StG_20101014 (‘LOCALSTAR’), both held at the University of Exeter.
