How to explain the numerical discrepancy between FactoMineR::PCA() and the svd() in their ou...

I am comparing the output of two functions in R to do Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the FactoMineR::PCA() and the base::svd() using the R built-in data set mtcars, given that the former function …

How to explain the numerical discrepancy between FactoMineR::PCA() and the svd() in their ou...

The difference between FactoMineR:::PCA() and base::svd() is the scaling and negative signs for some columns in the dataset. The below code is a proof of the above: # PCA using FactoMineR::PCA() libra …

How to compute the left singular eigenvector matrix (U) from the output of prcomp() for PCA ...

I am examining the output of the prcomp() function in R for PCA in light of the singular value decomposition equation: $X = U \cdot \Sigma \cdot V^{T}$, where: $X$: is the standardized original data m …

How to compute the left singular eigenvector matrix (U) from the output of prcomp() for PCA ...

This can be achieved by computing the $\Sigma$ first from the prcomp() function to make it numerically equivalent to that of the svd()and it turned out after inspecting the source code of prcomp() thi …
