On p. 48 of "Statistics Complements" to the 3rd MASS edition, http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS3/VR3stat.pdf I read that the orthogonal rotations of Z Lambda^-1 remain uncorrelated, where Z is the PC and Lambda is the diag matrix of singular values. However, the example below that text is > A <- loadings(ir.pca) %*% diag(ir.pca$sdev) If ir.pca$sdev are the singular values, should that be...

Hello again- Thanks to Prof. Ripley for responding to my previous question. I would like to clarify my question using sample code. I will use some sample code taken from ?prcomp Again, I would like to compare the % variance explained by each PC before and after rotation. < code follows > data(USArrests) pca = prcomp(USArrests, scale = TRUE) # proportion variance explained by each
