Hi all:
I am trying to do PCA on the following matrix.
N1 N2 A1 A2 B1 B2
gene_a 90 110 190 210 290 310
gene_b 190 210 390 410 590 610
gene_c 90 110 110 90 120 80
gene_d 200 100 400 90 600 200
dataf<-read.table("matrix")
pca<-princomp(dataf,cor=TRUE,scores=TRUE)
Error in princomp.default(dataf, cor = TRUE, scores =
TRUE) :
princomp can only be used with more units than
variables
Can any one help me, whats wrong here.
What is wrong is that you failed to read the help page before posting as the posting guide asks you to. The explanation *IS* on the help page. Please don't expect a help list to read the help for you.
