1) I don't know why PCA rotation function not run although I try many times. Would you please hepl me and explain how to read the PCA map (both of rotated and unrotated) in a concrete example.
If you used the example from here [1], there's a typo in the document. It should look like the following: library(psych) fit <- factor.pa(mydata, nfactors=3, rotate="varimax") # rotatE; not rotatION fit # print results Also, there are a _lot_ of rotation methods in GPArotation. Load the package and use in the function above, say, rotate="quartimax". For un-rotated PCA, I'd imagine it would be rotate="none". Liviu [1] http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/factor.html
