Hi! My question(s) in the end might be silly but I am no expert on this, so here it goes: Noy-Meir (1973), Pielou (1984) and a few others have pointed to non-centered PCA being in some cases useful. They clearly explain that "it is the case" when multi-dimensional data display distinct clusters (which have zero, or near-zero, projections in some subset of the axes) and the task is

Greets to the list! I am aware that this topic has been discussed several times. And I've read quite some related posts [1]. Yet, can't seem to give a solution to my problem. I have 6 data frames consisting of 6 rows x 7 columns put together from other data.frames. Something like: a b c d e f g v1 # # # # # # # v2 # # # # # # # v3 # # # # # # # v4 # # # # # # # v5 # # # # # # # v6

Hi list! I have prepared a custom function (below) in order to calculate separability indices (Divergence, Bhattacharyya, Jeffries-Matusita, Transformed divergene) between two samples of (spectral land cover) classes. I need help to cross-compare results to verify that it works as expected (since I don't know of any other foss-tool that will give me quickly some results). Does anybody

Hi all, I am using the vegan package to run a prcincipal components analysis on forest structural variables (tree density, basal area, average height, regeneration density) in R. However, I could not find out how to extract factor loadings (correlations of each variable with each pca axis), as is straightforwar in princomp. Do anyone know how to do that? Moreover, do anyone knows

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

Per the discussion about the problems with prcomp() when n << p, which boils down to a problem with svd() when n << p, here is a patch to prcomp() which substitutes La.svd() instead of svd(). -Greg (This is really a feature enhancement, but submitted to R-bugs to make sure it doesn't get lost. ) *** R-1.6.0/src/library/mva/R/prcomp.R Mon Aug 13 17:41:50 2001 ---

Hi R-list. This is my first post. I'll try to be as precise as possible with the difficulty I have to "get things done". I have a hard time trying to construct a double "for" loop and create within the inner loop new objects (in this case vectors). I posted this question in a non-directly related with pure R-problems list (in grass-stats). In addition, I think I

According to R help: princomp() uses eigenvalues of covariance data. prcomp() uses the SVD method. yet when I run the (eg., USArrests) data example and compare with my own "hand-written" versions of PCA I get what looks like the opposite. Example: comparing the variances I see: Using prcomp(USArrests) ------------------------------------- Standard deviations: [1] 83.732400 14.212402

Full_Name: Juha Heljoranta Version: R 2.1.1 (2005-06-20) OS: Gentoo Linux Submission from: (NULL) (88.112.29.250) prcomp has a bug which causes following error Error in svd(x, nu = 0) : infinite or missing values in 'x' on a valid data set (no Infs, no missing values). The error is most likely caused by the zeros in data. My code and temporary workaround: m = matrix(... ...

Dear r-devel list, dear Ben I came across a post of Ben Bolker from Feb 2012 (see below) on handling NA values in prcomp(). As I faced the same issue and found Ben's suggestions interesting, I was wondering whether this led to further discussions I might have missed? I understand handling NA values is far from trivial, but would it be possible to add a warning in the documentation, and/or

This is a wishlist/request for discussion about the behaviour of the na.action option in prcomp, specifically the fact that it only applies to the formula interface. I had a question from a friend (who is smart and careful and generally R's TFM, although like all of us he misses things sometimes) asking why the na.action= argument didn't seem to be doing anything in prcomp (i.e. one

Hi All: I am running prcomp on a very large array, roughly [500000, 3650]. The array itself is 16GB. I am running on a Unix machine and am running ?top? at the same time and am quite surprised to see that the application memory usage is 76GB. I have the ?tol? set very high (.8) so that it should only pull out a few components. I am surprised at this memory usage because prcomp uses the SVD

Martin, I fully agree. This becomes an issue when you have big matrices. (Note that there are awesome methods for actually only computing a small number of PCs (unlike your code which uses svn which gets all of them); these are available in various CRAN packages).

I've been working on a revised version of prcomp and princomp. Below is my current draft of prcomp, which is marginally different from V&R. I've added center and scale as optional arguments. However, scale causes the following: > zi _ prcomp(iris[,,2]) Warning: ignored non function "scale" because scale is both a variable and a function. Is there any way to avoid this

Dear all, I am looking for some interactive study materials on Principal component analysis. Basically I would like to know what we are actually doing with PCA? What is happening within the dataset at the time of doing PCA. Probably a 3-dimensional interactive explanation would be best for me. I have gone through some online materials specially Wikipedia etc, however what I need a "movable
