Traditionally that transform is supposed to give the product moment
correlation between the variables and the PC axis ....

That simply gives you the scaled eigenvectors of the inverse of the
covariance matrix.

Dear morphometricians,
please, has anyone got any experience of PCAs where
eigenvectors are
scaled according to 1/SQRT of eigenvalues? What's the aim and
typical use?
Any introductory reference?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
Andrea
