I am having a problem with rank deficiency in a covariance matrix.



I have a data-set of M variables and N observations, M>N.



Calculating the singular value decomposition of the data-sets covariance matrix (MxM) I find that it has rank=N-1 and not M.



Maybe someone here can explain to me why.



Below is a small-scale example:
