Comparing svd and princomp in R
问题 I want to get singular values of a matrix in R to get the principal components, then make princomp(x) too to compare results I know princomp() would give the principal components Question How to get the principal components from $d, $u, and $v (solution of s = svd(x) )? 回答1: One way or another, you should probably look into prcomp , which calculates PCA using svd instead of eigen (as in princomp ). That way, if all you want is the PCA output, but calculated using svd , you're golden. Also, if
