T-mode PCA

Fri, Dec 12, 2008 9:12 AM

Hi,

We are trying to classify atmospheric patterns using PCA and kmeans. In 
T-mode, the (non-normalized) loadings of the PCs are used as input 
variables for the k-means classification.

As first step we perform PCA using "princomp" but the computed loadings 
produced by princomp are normalized. In order to apply T-mode 
classification, we need the "non-normalized" loadings as they represent 
the correlation between old and new "axis".

How do we get the "non-normalized" loadings for the Principal Components?


Thanks for your help,

V?ctor.
