similar to: PCA - "cov.wt(z) : 'x' must contain finite values only"

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

Dear R users, i would like to apply a PCA on image data for data reduction. The image data is available as three matrices for the RGB values. At the moment i use x <- data.frame(R,G,B)#convert image data to data frame pca<-princomp(x,retx = TRUE) This is working so far. >From this results then i want to create a new matrix from the first (second..) principal component. Here i stuck.

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

After doing a PCA using princomp, how do you view how much each component contributes to variance in the dataset. I'm still quite new to the theory of PCA - I have a little idea about eigenvectors and eigenvalues (these determine the variance explained?). Are the eigenvalues related to loadings in R?

Hi all, I am doing bootstrap on a distance matrix, in which samples have been drawn with replacement. After that I do PCA on a resulted matrix, and these 2 steps are repeated 1000 times. pca(x) is a vector where I wanted to store all 1000 PCAs; and x is from 1 to 1000 SampleD is a new matrix after resampling; I am getting the following error message, which I don't understand: ....

Hi All, I have been trying to get to plot my PCA legend outside of the PCA plot, but success still alludes me. Can you guys please advise how I can achieve this. I used locater() to obtain coordinates for below the Comp.1 axis. Using these coordinates the legend disappears. Below is the code for the PCA and legend. Thanks in advance for the help. Regards Tinus r.cols <-

Hello, I am trying to complete a PCA on a set of standardized ring widths from 8 different sites (T10, T9, T8, T7, T6, T5, T3, and T2). The following is a small portion of my data: T10 T9 T8 T7 T6 T5 T3 T2 1.33738 0.92669 0.91146 0.98922 0.9308 0.88201 0.92287 0.91775 0.82181 1.05319 0.92908 0.97971 0.95165 0.98029 1.14048 0.77803 0.88294 0.96413 0.90893 0.87957 0.9961 0.74926 0.71394 0.70877

Dear all, not really a R question but: If I want to check for the classification accuracy of a LDA with previous PCA for dimensionality reduction by means of the LOOCV method: Is it ok to do the PCA on the WHOLE dataset ONCE and then run the LDA with the CV option set to TRUE (runs LOOCV) -- OR-- do I need - to compute for each 'test-bag' (the n-1 observations) a PCA

hi, I have two questions: #first (SPSS vs. R): I just compared the output of different PCA routines in R (pca, prcomp, princomp) with results from SPSS. the loadings of the variables differ vastly! in SPSS the variables load constantly higher than in R. I made sure that both progr. use the correlation matrix as basis. I found the same problem with rotated values (varimax rotation and rtex=T

Dear all I'm unable to find an example of extracting the rotated scores of a principal components analysis. I can do this easily for the un-rotated version. data(mtcars) .PC <- princomp(~am+carb+cyl+disp+drat+gear+hp+mpg, cor=TRUE, data=mtcars) unclass(loadings(.PC)) # component loadings summary(.PC) # proportions of variance mtcars$PC1 <- .PC$scores[,1] # extract un-rotated scores of

Dear useRs: I'm not sure if it's the correct place to ask but I'll try it out. I've been reading about how to perform Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in microarrays (see [1]) and there's something that I don't get it. Basically it's related with performing PCA over data sets which number of variables is greater than the number of samples. For example in the paper

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

Hello, I'm attempting to run a PCA on an example data set. I ran it just fine, but I don't know how to few the output? I listed what the variable got stored in it, but I don't know how I can get anything else out of it. Are there other ways to view the results? Also, I'm confused about the last line "6 variables and 8 observations" Aren't the rows the

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]]

I am running a PCA, but would like to rotate my data and limit the number of factors that are analyzed. I can do this using the "principal" command from the psych package [principal(my.data, nfactors=3,rotate="varimax")], but the issue is that this does not report scores for the Principal Components the way "princomp" does. My question is: Can you get an

Dear All, I am not familar with R. I want to use PCA (principal components analysis) and MDS (multidimensional scaling). Can someone tell me which R package I should use for PCA and MDS? I appreciate your help in advance. Ray

Dear Folks I need to rotate PCA loadings and scores using R. I have run a pca using princomp and I have rotated PCA results with varimax. Using varimax R gives me back just rotated PC loadings without rotated PC scores. Does anybody know how I can obtain/calculate rotated PC scores with R? Your kindly help is appreciated in advance Francesca [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everyone, I am doing PCA with labdsv package. I was trying to create a biplot graphs in order to observe arrows related to my variables. However when I run the script for this graph, the console just keep saying: *Error in nrow(y) : element 1 is empty; the part of the args list of 'dim' being evaluated was: (x)* could please someone tell me what this means? what i am doing

Hi- I'm trying to make my PCA (princomp) colored. In my csv excel sheet, I have the first column numbered according to the groupings I want to assign to the PCA. I've played around with trying to set this first column as the color vector, but haven't had any luck. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hillary [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Can't make sense of calculated results and hope I'll find help here. I've collected answers from about 600 persons concerning three variables. I hypothesise those three variables to be components (or indicators) of one latent factor. In order to reduce data (vars), I had the following idea: Calculate the factor underlying these three vars. Use the loadings and the original var
