Re: [R] Eigenvectors and values in R and SAS

Here is an example that may be helpful. A - matrix(c(-3,5,4,-2),nrow=2,byrow=TRUE) eigs - eigen(A) eigs $values [1] -7 2 $vectors [,1] [,2] [1,] -0.7808688 -0.7071068 [2,] 0.6246950 -0.7071068 The eigenvectors may be scaled differently because they are not unique (or have a

[R] Eigenvectors and values in R and SAS

also appreciate it if someone can explain the difference in simple terms. I'm pretty new to both programs. Thanks for your help- -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Eigenvectors-and-values-in-R-and-SAS-tp1011510p1011510.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com
