Running 3.0.2 on Slackware here. Tried to install.packages() for both
princomp and prcomp (Principal Components Analysis) but R responded by
telling me neither is available for this version of R.

   Has anyone an idea when either (but especially prcomp) might be available?

TIA,

Rich

Both are functions (not packages) and available in the stats package.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

Both functions (not packages) are included in package stats
which is part of the standard R installation. Have you tried?

?prcomp
?princomp

Thierry,

   Thank you. I saw it referenced as a package in my Web search.
