[Numpy-discussion] confusion about eigenvector

[Matthieu Brucher]

OK, what you are getting are not the eigenvectors of you data, but the
eigenvectors of the transposition of your data (I suppose).
You have two options :
- either you make an eigen analysis of your data and get 12 eigenvectors
- either you make an eigen analysis of the transposition of your data and
then you must get the 4 eignevectors into your original space (I don't
remember the exact equations to do thge latter).
