I don't understand why dot product of normalized vector is always data size -1.



a <- scale(rnorm(100))
crossprod(a)
# equal = 100 - 1 = 99

b <- scale(runif(50))
crossprod(b)
# equal = 50 - 1 = 49

c <- scale(rchisq(30, 5))
crossprod(c)
# equal = 30 - 1 = 29


I want to know mathematical understanding.

  • Please read the documentation of scale(), section Details: for the scaled data the standard deviation is 1.

Not in LaTex, but proof may help you to understand:



Your values are scaled, so: [x_i-mean(X)] / sd(X).



Crossprod does sum of squares of x_i = Sum_i ( [x_i-mean(X)])^2



Variance (squared sd): var(X) = sd^2(X) = 1/(n-1) * Sum_i ( [x_i-mean(X)])^2



Crossprod = Sum_i ([x_i-mean(X)] / sd(X))^2) = 1/sd(X)^2 * Sum_i ( [x_i-mean(X)]^2) = 1/(1/(n-1)) = n-1
