Covariance Matrix of Zero Mean Data. The data set has zero mean does it somehow relects in covariance matrix ?

    You can shift the means without affecting the covariance matrix, so in that sense there is little relationship – Henry Jul 10 '19 at 16:46
  • Thanks Henry. What I exactly would like to know between a zero mean data set and a non zero mean data set if we can interpret the data set by seeing the covariance matrix ? – Debaleena Jul 11 '19 at 17:30
  • If all you can see is the covariance matrix, then you have no information about the means (except that they are finite) – Henry Jul 11 '19 at 20:54
  • Thanks Henry. Further, is there any method/way to check the zero mean data set when the actual data set is not available ? – Debaleena Jul 13 '19 at 08:37
