Hello, Is there any possibility in R to see the body of the non-visible function, for example princomp? If I do : > methods(princomp) so, I get that princomp.default and princomp.formula are non-visible functions and body(princomp.default) doesnt show it. In particular, I guess I have a very nave question Id like to see how scores calculation is implemented in the function princomp.

Dear all, I'm using R 2.8.1 under Vista. I programmed a Simulation with the code enclosed at the end of the eMail. After the simulation I want to analyse the columns of the single simulation-runs, i.e. e.g. Simulation[[1]][,1] sth. like that but I cannot address these columns... Can anybody please help? Best, Thomas ############################ CODE ############################

My previous post about prcomp and princomp was done in some haste as I had long ago indicated to Kurt that I would try to have this ready for the June release, and it appeared that I would miss yet another release. I also need to get it out before it becomes hopelessly buried by other work. Brian Ripley kindly pointed out some errors, and also pointed out that I was suggesting replacing some

Peter, As I understand your Q. You probably have data that is similar to each other like stock Prices for all RHS variable. In that case the difference between corr and cov is not significant; however, if your RHS contains totally dissimilar variables it matters a great deal. If x1 income, x2 job type, x3 Education level, etc..., then taking cov of these variables would not be desireable

Full_Name: Jerome Asselin Version: 1.7.1 OS: Red Hat Linux 7.2 Submission from: (NULL) (24.77.125.119) Setting the parameter na.action=na.omit should remove incomplete records in princomp.

Sincerely, Jerome Asselin data(USArrests) princomp(USArrests, cor = TRUE) #THIS WORKS USArrests[1,3] <- NA princomp(USArrests, cor =

R version: 1.7.1 OS: Red Hat Linux 7.2 When "covmat" is supplied in princomp(), the output value "center" is all NA's, even though the input matrix was indeed centered. I haven't read anything about this in the help file for princomp(). See code below for an example: pc2$center is all NA's. Jerome Asselin x <- rnorm(6) y <- rnorm(6) X <- cbind(x,y)

I'm attempting to modify how biplot draws its red vectors (among other things). This is how I've started: Biplot <- function(xx, comps = c(1, 2), cex = c(.6, .4)) { ## Purpose: Makes a biplot with princomp() object to not show arrows ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Arguments: xx is an object made using princomp() ##

Dear R buddies, I’m trying to run Principal Component Analysis, package princomp: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/stats/html/princomp.html. My question is: why do I get different results with pca = princomp (x, cor = TRUE) and pca = princomp (x, cor = FALSE) even when I standardize variables in my matrix?

This problem is not limited to R, but R is one of the packages in which it arises. princomp is a nice function which creates an object for which inspection methods have been written. Unfortunately, princomp does not admit cases in which the x matrix is wider than high (i. e. more variables than observations). Such cases are typical in spectroscopy and related disciplines. It would be nice if the

Dear all, perhaps I am using princomp.formula and prcomp.formula in a way that is not documented to work, but then the documentation just says: formula: a formula with no response variable. Thus, to avoid a lot of typing, it would be nice if one could use '.' and '-' in the formula, e.g. > library(DAAG) > res <- prcomp(~ . - case - site - Pop - sex, possum)

Some webpage has described prcomp and princomp, but I am still not quite sure what the major difference between them is. Can they be used interchangeably? In help, it says 'princomp' only handles so-called R-mode PCA, that is feature extraction of variables. If a data matrix is supplied (possibly via a formula) it is required that there are at least as many units as

Dear all, When I print out princomp's loading outputs, there is alwasy a section for "SS loading", "Proportional Var" and "Cumulative Var". Anybody can tell what they are for? Or anyone can direct me to some reference to read about? Any help will be highly appricated. Hongsheng [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello! I am running principle components analysis using princomp function in pacakge psych. mypc <- princomp(mydataforpc, cor=TRUE) Question: I'd like to use pairwise deletion of missing cases when correlations are calculated. I.e., I'd like to have a correlation between any 2 variables to be based on all cases that have valid values on both variables. What should my na.action be in

Hi, I run the example for princomp for R211 I got the following error for biplot > ## The variances of the variables in the > ## USArrests data vary by orders of magnitude, so scaling is appropriate > (pc.cr <http://pc.cr> <- princomp(USArrests)) # inappropriate Erreur dans cov.wt(z) : 'x' must contain finite values only > princomp(USArrests, cor = TRUE) # =^=

Hello, I have a problem with the princomp method, it seems stupid but I don't know how to handle it. I have a dataset with some regular data and some outliers. I want to calculate a PCA on the regular data and get the scores for all data, including the outliers. Is this possible on R? Thank you for helping!!! -- View this message in context:

Dear all, I have a question about the 'sdev' value returned by the princomp function (which does principal components analysis). On the help page for princomp it says 'sdev' is 'the standard deviations of the principal components'. However, when I calculate the principal components for the USArrests data set, I don't find this to be the case: Here is how I
