If I calculate factor scores with princomp() I don't get the same factor
scores using eigen() method.
fctscr1 <- princomp(USArrests, cor=T)$scores
fctscr2 <- scale(as.matrix(USArrests)) %*% eigen(cor(USArrests))$vectors
identical(fctscr1,fctscr2) # results in FALSE
The values are close but not quite. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
It's my understanding that princomp() uses eigen() to calculate the factor
loadings.
