prcomp() in stats handles matrices with n < p well, IMO.

[R] PCA IN R

2007-09-07 Thread Weiwei Shi
hi,

A very quick search of PCA in R results in a lot of packages involving
that function. Just wondering which one is generally used for "fat"
data like microarray, esp. when the number of features is really big?

Thanks for comments

When all else fails, RTFM; e.g., see ?princomp and read it in its entirety.
Then maybe also try running example(princomp).

Take a look at the help file for prcomp, especially the bottom of
it.  (This is completely general advice for any R function.)  You
will see under "See also" a number of things listed, and if you
look them up or try them, then you will see several different
ways of viewing the result.  Under that is "Examples," which
provides more hints still.  And, if this isn't enough, type

example(prcomp)

on the command line.  The biplot function is especially nice.

[R] PCA in R

2004-07-14 Thread Herman, David (NIH/NIMH)
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 variables and the columns the observations?
 
(NOTE: if anyone knows a good guide for doing a PCA on an example data set,
from start to finish, it would be greatly appreciated)
