similar to: prcomp

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

Hello, not understanding the output of prcomp, I reduce the number of components and the output continues to show cumulative 100% of the variance explained, which can't be the case dropping from 8 components to 3. How do i get the output in terms of the cumulative % of the total variance, so when i go from total solution of 8 (8 variables in the data set), to a reduced number of

I am attempting to perform a pca on a data frame of dimension 5000x19, but when I execute pcapres<-prcomp(pres,center=TRUE) the following error message is returned: Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv, method) : error code 18 from Lapack routine dgesdd Where am I going wrong? I am running R-1.8.0 on Debian. Regards, Laura

Hi, I am trying to do a PCA on my data but I keep getting the error message svd(x, nu=0) infinite or missing values >From the messages posted on the subject, I understand that the NAs in my data might be the problem, but I thought na.omit would take care of that. Less than 5% of my cells are missing data. However, the NAs are not regularly distributed across my matrix: certain cases and

In comparing the results of princomp and prcomp I find: 1. The reported standard deviations are similar but about 1% from each other, which seems well above round-off error. 2. princomp returns what I understand are variances and cumulative variances accounted for by each principal component which are all equal. "SS loadings" is always 1. 3. Same happens

Hi, I'm trying to do PCA on a n by p wide matrix (n < p), and I'd like to get more principal components than there are rows. However, svd() only returns a V matrix of with n columns (instead of p) unless the argument nv=p is set (prcomp calls svd without setting it). Moreover, the eigenvalues returned are always min(n, p) instead of p, even if nv is set: > x <-

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

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(... ...

Hi, I do have a file that has 500000 columns and 40 rows. I want to apply PCA on that data and this is what I did h1<-read.table("Ccode.txt", sep='\t', header=F) # reads the data from the file Ccode.txt h2<-prcomp(na.omit(h1),center=T) but I am getting the following error "Error in svd(x, nu = 0) : 0 extent dimensions" I appreciate if someone can help

Hello, Can you get eigenvalues in addition to eigevectors using prcomp? If so how? I am unable to use princomp due to small sample sizes. Thank you in advance for your help!

I do not understand, from a PCA point of view, the option center=F of prcomp() According to the help page, the calculation in prcomp() "is done by a singular value decomposition of the (centered and possibly scaled) data matrix, not by using eigen on the covariance matrix" (as it's done by princomp()) . "This is generally the preferred method for numerical accuracy"

Dear R-list, Among the (R-)tools, I've seen on the net, for (bivariate) Principal Component scatter plots (+histograms), "plotpc" [1] is the one I like most. By default it performs PCA on a bivariate dataset based on R's "princomp()" (which is the eigenvector-based algebraic solution to PCA). I would like to modify "plotpc()" in order be able, as an

Some webpage has described prcomp and princomp, but I am still not quite sure what the major difference between them is. Can they be used interchangeably? In help, it says 'princomp' only handles so-called R-mode PCA, that is feature extraction of variables. If a data matrix is supplied (possibly via a formula) it is required that there are at least as many units as

Dear all, perhaps I am using princomp.formula and prcomp.formula in a way that is not documented to work, but then the documentation just says: formula: a formula with no response variable. Thus, to avoid a lot of typing, it would be nice if one could use '.' and '-' in the formula, e.g. > library(DAAG) > res <- prcomp(~ . - case - site - Pop - sex, possum)

Hello all, I wish to compute site scores using PCA (prcomp) on a matrix with missing values, for example: Drain Slope OrgL a 4 1 NA b 2.5 39 6 c 6 8 45 d 3 9 12 e 3 16 4 ... Where a,b... are sites. The command > pca<-prcomp(~ Drain + Slope + OrgL, data = t, center = TRUE, scale = TRUE, na.action=na.exclude) works great, and from
