I've noticed that the arguments and result list of prcomp in the mva package (with 61.1) are not quite the same as in the Blue Book and in Splus. Is this intentional or can I change it? If I change it who should I send the code to?

I think for small things like this, the best is to post diffs (diff -cb or diff -ubBw if the latter works) to this mailing list. Bigger things could be sent to "R-core@stat.math.ethz.ch" (the people who can actually change the sources in Auckland...). Thanks for your offer to fix this yourself! Optimally, you'd also send a patch for the help file (man/prcomp.Rd)!

Is this intentional or can I change it? If I change it who should I send the code to? The present prcomp is a compromise between the Splus prcomp and princomp (I didn't know about princomp and felt that prcomp wasn't satisfactory). I suppose each of these have their place, but I don't really like the idea of having two functions, it just makes it harder for users. As for the "who"; post it to r-devel. This gives a chance for anyone interested to review it. You may need to ask a week or so later whether anyone with commit rights has committed it.
