similar to: sdev value returned by princomp function (used for PCA)

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

Hi All, I have tried to find an answer within documentation, but I cannot: o How can call a class "slot" without knowing the name a priori? E.g., let's say I use the "pcaMethods" library to create a "pcaRes" object. How can I call parts of that object without using the specific names of the object in the call? example code: library(pcaMethods)

Hi all, I have a difficulty to calculate the PCA scores. The PCA scores I calculated doesn't match with the scores generated by R, mypca<-princomp(mymatrix, cor=T) myscore<-as.matrix(mymatrix)%*%as.matrix(mypca$loadings) Does anybody know how the mypca$scores were calculated? Is my formula not correct? Thanks a lot! Phoebe [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-developers, I finally got around to install R 1.1.0 but had problems at the `make check' stage. After compiling the released R 1.1.0 version the `make check' stage stopped while checking the examples in base. There was some problem with the quantile function and the check stopped complaining that NA's are not allowed. But I assume that this problem is already known because

Hello fellow Rers, I have a no-doubt simple question which is turning into a headache so would be grateful for any help. I want to do a principal components analysis directly on a correlation matrix object rather than inputting the raw data (and specifying cor = TRUE or the like). The reason behind this is I need to use polychoric correlation coefficients calculated with John Fox's

Hi, I need to export to LaTex the summary of a PCA. So: myPCA <- prcomp(myDF) mySummary <- summary(myPCA) # print(xtable(mySummary)) How can I export to LaTeX not all the summary but only the first nPCs?? Best Riccardo

Dear R-helpers, Using the package Lattice, I performed a PCA. For example pca.summary <- summary(pc.cr <- princomp(USArrests, cor = TRUE)) The Output of "pca.summary" looks as follows: Importance of components: Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4 Standard deviation 1.5748783 0.9948694 0.5971291 0.41644938 Proportion of Variance 0.6200604

Hi, I was trying as well as looking for an answer without success (a bit strange since it should be an easy problem) and therefore I will appreciate you help: My simple script is: # Loadings data of 5 columns and 100 rows of data data1<-read.csv("C:/?/MyPCA.csv") pairs(data1[,1:4]) pca1 <- princomp(data1[,1:4], score=TRUE, cor=TRUE) biplot(pca1) The biplot present the data

Hi There, I'm attempting to plot 10 values on a three-dimensional PCA with text labels next to each point. While i have no trouble doing this on 2D plots using the 'text' or 'textxy' function, I cannot find a function to do this on a 3D plot. I am using princomp for my PCA: >PCA<-princomp(eucdata, cor=TRUE) >PCA$scores [,1:3] # the three principal components i

Hello, I'm a newcomer to R so please forgive me if this is a silly question. It's that I have a linear regression: fm <- lm (x ~ y) and I want to test whether the slope of the regression is significantly less than 1. How can I do this in R? I'm also interested in comparing the slopes of two regressions: fm1 <- lm (x ~ y) fm2 <- lm (a ~ b) and asking if the slope of fm1 is

Hello, I have a question about using extreme value distribution in R. I have two variables, X and Y, and have pairs of points (X1,Y1),(X2,Y2), (X3,Y3) etc. When I plot X against Y, it looks like the maximum value of Y (for a particular X) is correlated with X. Indeed, when I bin the data by X-value into equally sized bins, and test whether the maximum value of Y for a bin is correlated with

Dear R help list, I am trying to do a logistic regression where I have a categorical response variable Y and two numerical predictors X1 and X2. There are quite a lot of missing values for predictor X2. eg., Y X1 X2 red 0.6 0.2 * red 0.5 0.2 * red 0.5 NA red 0.5 NA green 0.2 0.1 * green 0.1 NA green 0.1 NA green 0.05 0.05 * I am wondering can I combine X1 and

Hello, I have been looking for functions for calculating the within-groups variance and between-groups variance, for the case where you have several numerical variables describing samples from a number of groups. I didn't find such functions in R, so wrote my own versions myself (see below). I can calculate the within- and between-groups variance for the Sepal.length variable (iris[1]) in

Hi ! I've used the example given in the documentation for the prcomp function both in R and SPAD to compare the results obtained. Surprisingly, I do not obtain the same results for the coordinates of the principal composantes with these two softwares. using USArrests data I obtain with R : > summary(prcomp(USArrests)) Importance of components: PC1 PC2

Hello, I am wondering whether there is a way to test whether two non-independent correlation coefficients are significantly different, in R? I have an experimentally measure variable Y, and two different variables X1, and X2, which are predictions of Y that were predicted using two different computational models. I would like to see whether the correlation of Y and X1, and Y and X2 is

Hello, It might be a trivial question but I just wanted to find out the relationship between sdev and proportion of variance generated by prcomp. I got the following result from my data set ???????????????????????????? PC1????? PC2????? PC3 Standard deviation???? 104.89454 15.40910 9.012047 Proportion of Variance?? 0.52344? 0.01130 0.003860 Cumulative Proportion??? 0.52344? 0.53474 0.538600

In the manual page for prcomp(), it says that sdev is "the standard deviations of the principal components (i.e., the square roots of the eigenvalues of the covariance/correlation matrix, though the calculation is actually done with the singular values of the data matrix)." ?However, this is not what I'm finding. ?The values appear to be the standard deviations of a reprojection of

Dear all, I've written a small booklet on using R for time series analysis, available here : http://a-little-book-of-r-for-time-series.readthedocs.org/ <http://a-little-book-of-r-for-time-series.readthedocs.org/> It is just a little booklet for beginners like myself (I am studying Stats, and mostly wrote it to help myself study and understand this material), but thought it

Hello, I have a small statistics question, and as I'm quite new to statistics and R, I'm not sure if I'm doing things correctly. I am looking at two quantitative variables (x,y) that are correlated. When I divide the data set according to a categorical variable z, then x and y are more poorly correlated when z = A than when z = B (see attached figure). In fact x and y are two
