Returns an array of cells for the i-th principal component (or residuals).
Syntax
PCA_VAR(X, Mask, Standardize, Number, Number of PC, Return_type)
X is the independent variables data matrix, such that each column represents one variable.
Mask is the boolean array to select a subset of the input variables in X. If missing, all variables in X are included.
Standardize is a flag or switch to standardize the input variables prior to the analysis (i.e. standardize = 1 (default), subtract mean = 2)).
| Order | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Standardize (subtract mean and divide by standard deviation) (default) |
| 2 | Subtract mean (subtract mean) |
Number is the input variable number.
Number of PC is the number of principal components (PC) to include. If missing or zero, all components will be used.
Return_type is a switch to select the return output (1 = final communality (default), 2 = loading/weights, 3 = fitted values, 4 = residuals).
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Final communality (default) |
| 2 | Loading or weights for factors |
| 3 | Fitted input variable (from PCs) |
| 4 | Residuals |
Remarks
- The underlying model is described here.
- The PCA_VAR function must be entered as an array formula (for return-types other than 1) in a range that has the rows as the number of variables (return-type = 2) or the number of observations (return-type > 2).
- The sample data may include missing values.
- Each column in the input matrix corresponds to a separate variable.
- Each row in the input matrix corresponds to an observation.
- Observations (i.e. rows) with missing values are removed.
- The PC_VAR function is available starting with version 1.60 APACHE.
