 I have had a look at the kernelPCA source code. When you centre a kernel
 matrix, should

 arma::sum(kernelMatrix, 1) / kernelMatrix.n_cols;

 not be computed before you subtract the means from the rows in the
 previous line?
 I seem to be getting inconsistent results when using it, with the first PC
 disagreeing
 with alternative implementations, but then agreeing from the second PC
 onwards. This seems like a tell-tale sign of centring going wrong.
