Standardizing Your Data
In the lecture, we saw that you can learn a lot about a dataset by creating the matrix \(A^TA\) from it. In this exercise, you'll do that with athletic data for players entering the National Football League college draft. The dataset combine is loaded for you.

Instruções do exercício
- Extract only the numerical elements of the data frame by taking only the 5th through 12th columns. Call this
A(we cannot do math on the non-numerical components in columns 1 through 4). - Turn this data frame into a matrix by using the
as.matrix()command. - Subtract the mean of each of the columns of the matrix.

# Extract columns 5-12 of combine
A <- combine[, ___:___]
# Make A into a matrix
A <- ___(A)
# Subtract the mean of each column
A[, ___] <- A[, 1] - mean(A[, 1])
A[, 2] <- A[, 2] - ___(A[, 2])
A[, ___] <- A[, 3] - mean(A[, 3])
A[, ___] <- A[, ___] - mean(A[, 4])
A[, 5] <- A[, 5] - mean(A[, 5])
A[, ___] <- A[, 6] - mean(A[, ___])
A[, 7] <- A[, ___] - mean(A[, 7])
A[, ___] <- A[, 8] - mean(A[, 8])
