Hi Michiel, You're right there. The OP may have assumed that the numbers were percentages, whereas they are the eigenvalues, which remain to be divided by the total variance to get the cumulative fraction of variance explained. The variance explained by the first ten pc's in this case is approxima

Hi Michiel, I disagree, and so does semantics. The cumulative variance of a pc is the variance of it plus the sum of the preceding ones. You're talking about the cumulative fraction of the total variance. Cheers, Tajerk On Dec 16, 2011 12:07 AM, "Niesen, Michiel" wrote: >Date: Thu, 15 Dec 201
