Hi Paul, >> how do you view how much each component contributes to variance in the >> dataset ...
It helps to read the help: ?princomp ?prcomp Contributions to inertia or variance are reported as standard deviations (princomp.obj$sdev). So square these values to get the variance accounted for by each component. For the rest, see loadings sub Value in the help file.
