Actually, the loadings are quite different from the coefficients. The loadings are simply correlations of the original values to the scores for a PCA factor. The coefficients, on the other hand, allow one to compute the scores. There is a coefficient for each variable. The coefficient is multiplied with the standardized variable and then added to the next coefficient multiplied by its standardized variable ets. The general formula
