similar to: varimax rotation in R

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

Hi! I am trying to analyse with R a database that I have previously analysed with SPSS. Steps with SPSS: Factorial analysis Extraction options : I select = Principal component analysis Rotation: varimax Steps with R: I have tried it with varimax function with factanal or with princomp...and the results are different of what I have with SPSS. I think that varimax function is incorporated in

Hi, I am puzzeled with a differing result of princomp in R and FACTOR in SPSS. Regarding the amount of explained Variance, the two results are the same. However, the loadings differ substantially, in the unrotated as well as in the rotated form. In both cases correlation matrices are analyzed. The sums of the squared components is one in both programs. Maybe there is an obvious reason, but I

Hello everyone- I have a 3-d array with the 1st dimension being monthly mean data that I would like to correlate with some time series index, for example, and save the coefficients in an array. The code I am currently running is.... rData <- array(0,c(73,144)) # array to store results for (i in 1:73) { for (j in 1:144) { rData[i,j] <- cor(slp[,i,j],y)

Dear R users the factanal pacakge is always MLE, which package can do varimax rotation with the results from princomp ? thank you yong

Hello, recently I was looking at the implementation of the "varimax" rotation procedure from the "stats" package and to me it looks quite different from the algorithm originally suggested by Kaiser in 1958. The R procedure iteratively uses singular value decompositions of some matrices whereas Kaiser proposed to iteratively compute rotation matrices between all pairs of

Dear Users, I ran factor analysis using R and SAS. However, I had different outputs from R and SAS. Why they provide different outputs? Especially, the factor loadings are different. I did real dataset(n=264), however, I had an extremely different from R and SAS. Why this things happened? Which software is correct on? Thanks in advance, - TY #R code with example data # A little

hello, subsequently to a NMDS analysis (performed with metaMDS or isoMDS) is it possible to rotate the axis through a varimax-rotation? Thanks in advance. Bernd Panassiti

--=-hiYzUeWcRJ/+kx41aPIZ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi, on March 10 I filed a wishlist bug report asking for the inclusion of some changes to factanal() and the associated print method. The changes were originally proposed by John Fox in 2005; they make print.factanal() display factor correlations if factanal() is called with rotation =

Hello I seem to find only two types of rotation for the factanal function in R, the Varimax and Promax, but is it possible to run a orthogonal and oblique rotations in R? Thanks in advance Rosario

Hi, I have a set of covariance matrices but not the original data. I want to carry out some exploratory factor analysis. So, I am trying to construct a covariance matrix list as the input for factanal. I can construct a list which includes the cov, the centers, and the n.obs. But it doesn't work. I get an error that says "Error in sqrt(diag(cv)) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical

Hello all, I've run a principal component regression using the PLS package. I then applied varimax rotation (i.e., using http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/stats/html/varimax.html). I cannot figure out how to extract the factor loadings post-varimax. Is there a command to do this? scores(x) does not do it. Thanks and happy holidays -- View this message in context:

Dear R Helper, I am writing because I seek to perform a varimax rotation on my Principal Components Analysis (PCA) solution. (I have been performing PCA's using the eigen command in R.) If you can tell me how to perform this rotation when I use the eigen command (or the princomp command) I would be thrilled. Thanks so much! Wendy Treynor Ann Arbor, MI USA

Dear friends, I'm using R to produce the following Factor Analysis: > matriz.cor<-hetcor(matrix(as.factor(data), ncol=variables, byrow=T))$correlations > factanal(x=data, factors=2, covmat=matriz.cor, scores='regression') Then the screen output shows the following message: Error en factanal(x = data, factors = 2, covmat = matrix, : requested scores without

In R factanal output, I can't find a function to give me residuals e. I mannually got it by using x -lamda1*f1 -lamda2*f2 - ... -lamdan*fn, but the e I got are not uncorrelated with all the f's. What did I do wrong? Please help. Yijun ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and

A bit of a newbee to R and factor rotation I am trying to understand factor rotations and their implementation in R, particularly the GPArotation library. I have tried to reproduce some of the examples that I have found, e.g., I have taken the values from Jacksons example in "Oblimin Rotation", Encyclopedia of Biostatistics

Hi All, There were lot of diffrences in the R and SPSS results for Exploratory Factor Analysis.why is it so ?I used standard factor analysis functions like:-- factanal(m, factors=3, rotation="varimax") princomp(m, cor = FALSE, scores = TRUE, subset = rep(TRUE, nrow(as.matrix(m)))) print(summary(princomp(m, cor=TRUE),loadings = TRUE, cutoff = 0.2), digits = 2) prcomp(m, scale = TRUE)
