Try this result <- summary(prcomp(USArrests)) names(result) M <- result$importance M[2,]
The "labels" are the dimnames of the "importance" matrix. They only "show up" when the matrix is printed. If you wish, you can remove them with dimnames(M) <- NULL. -- Bjørn-Helge Mevik ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
