### My Question

I see that it outputs 2 tuples.
1st one a 3 dimensional and 2nd being 3*3 . i wanna understand layman, english sense for these numbers.

If i understand right, the 3*3 is covariance matrix and eigen vector to it will give principle directions.

If some one could help me on how to make sense of it, it would be great
