Indicate whether each of the following changes to a set of data will affect the Euclidean distances between points, and a clustering algorithm such as hclust. If there is any effect, indicate under what circumstances it will be largest. (a). Rescale the variables, multiplying each one by a different constant. (b). Multiply each variable by the same constant. (c). Rotating the data by multiplying it by an orthonormal matrix (hint: PCA loadings are one orthogonal matrix.

Question

Indicate whether each of the following changes to a set of data will affect the Euclidean distances between points, and a clustering algorithm such as hclust. If there is any effect, indicate under what circumstances it will be largest.

(a). Rescale the variables, multiplying each one by a different constant.

(b). Multiply each variable by the same constant.

(c). Rotating the data by multiplying it by an orthonormal matrix (hint: PCA loadings are one orthogonal matrix. If you want, you can use PCA to answer this question.)

(d). Projecting the data onto the first 5 principal components.

Note: You should answer this question using mathematical arguments
