# 0 <= length <= 1 for each vector; short vectors have a low signal-to-noise ratio, long vectors a good signal-to-noise ratio, and vectors of length 1 represent ideal (prototypical) data sets.

# if all CCs are known, the solution is unique in terms of lengths of vectors, and angles between them. However, a rotated (around the origin) or inverted (through the origin) arrangement of the vectors leaves the functional unchanged, because these transformations do not change lengths and angles. | # if all CCs are known, the solution is unique in terms of lengths of vectors, and angles between them.

# as long as the problem is | # as long as the problem is well-determined, the vectors can be calculated. Unknown CCs between data sets (e.g. in case of crystallographic data sets that don't have common reflections) can be estimated from the dot product of their vectors. Well-determination means: each data set has to be related (directly or indirectly i.e through others) to any other by at least as many CCs as the desired number of dimensions is. A necessary condition for this is that each data set has at least as many relations to others (input lines to cc_analysis involving this data set) as the number of dimensions is. It is of course better if more relations are specified! | ||
