Dear Claudia, you are right. Thank you very much for your explanations. So in the non-centered case SDEV does not contain the "square roots of the eigenvalues of the covariance/correlation matrix". In in the centered case it holds A´A=(n-1)*cov(A) (not n+1).
Have a nice day. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/prcomp-function-tp3036088p3037398.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
