Hi,

The values are calculated on the fly in the summary function

stats:::print.summary.princomp

using

vars <- result$sdev^2
vars <- vars/sum(vars)
cumsum(vars)

Subject: [R] How to read "Cumulative proportion" in using princomp?

Dear all, 

> result<-summary(princomp(x,cor=TRUE))
>result
Importance of components:
                         Comp.1    Comp.2     Comp.3     Comp.4
Standard deviation     1.642136 1.0114376 0.45146892 0.27669119
Proportion of Variance 0.674153 0.2557515 0.05095605 0.01913950
Cumulative Proportion  0.674153 0.9299044 0.98086050 1.00000000

I want to read Cumlative Proportion listed above. But I cannot find it
in
result, instead, R gives me followed, which is not same with above: 
>result[2]
$loadings

Loadings:
        Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4
YC.T     0.183  0.935  0.250  0.172
YC.Rad   0.581 -0.130 -0.413  0.689
YC.Rain -0.537  0.308 -0.784       
YC.ETPM  0.583  0.119 -0.389 -0.703

               Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4
SS loadings      1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00
Proportion Var   0.25   0.25   0.25   0.25
Cumulative Var   0.25   0.50   0.75   1.00

I am wondering how can I calculate "Cumulative Proportion" in the first
result. 
Thank you very much
