Hello, there, I did a test run for this princomp() function using USArrests data. The R document says that the output loadings contain the eigenvector matrix. When I looked at this matrix, I found that a missing item for Comp.4
> p3=princomp(USArrests, cor=TRUE )> p3$loadings Loadings: Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4Murder -0.536 0.418 -0.341 0.649Assault -0.583 0.188 -0.268 -0.743UrbanPop -0.278 -0.873 -0.378 0.134Rape -0.543 -0.167 0.818 Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4SS loadings 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00Proportion Var 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25Cumulative Var 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 How should I explain this? Thanks.
