[R] how to display case names in biplot.prcomp?
One way is to give the names you want to use as the rownames of the scores component of the principal component analysis object. e.g. pca <- princomp(~.-Species, iris) rownames(pca$scores) <- paste("C", substring(1001:1150, 2), sep = "") biplot(pca) (May I also suggest you treat the group with a little more courtesy in the way you phrase your questions in future and get your shift key fixed? It would also be nice to know your real name.)
