Kernel PCA is usually done via eigenvalue decomposition of the Kernel Matrix **K** and standard PCA via SVD of the input **X**. We can derive **S** and **U** from eigenvalue decomposition ![enter image description here][1] ![enter image description here][2] How can I get the matrix **V**? I need it for certain calculations like biplots. In standard PCA as far as I know we can derive **U** and **V** via two eigenvalue decompositions, of the Gram and Covariance/Correlation matrices: ![enter image description here][3] ![enter image description here][4] ![enter image description here][5] ![enter image description here][6] [![enter image description here][7]][7] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/IA9SZ.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/xYXNG.png [3]: https://i.sstatic.net/55puB.png [4]: https://i.sstatic.net/SzBJk.png [5]: https://i.sstatic.net/09QvC.png [6]: https://i.sstatic.net/fDNYe.png [7]: https://i.sstatic.net/uS802.png
