Hello all, I was wondering if it was possible to pull out certain parts of an array in R - not an array of data that I have created, but an array of data that has been spit out by R itself.
More specifically, in the lines of code below: > summary(prcomp(USArrests)) Importance of components: PC1 PC2 PC3 PC4 Standard deviation 83.732 14.2124 6.4894 2.48279 Proportion of Variance 0.966 0.0278 0.0058 0.00085 Cumulative Proportion 0.966 0.9933 0.9991 1.00000 I was wondering if there is a way to only extract one piece of this array, specifically the Proportion of Variance for PC2, which is 0.0278. I know how to extract one entire line of data from this array, using the following lines of code: > result<-summary(prcomp(USArrests)) > m<-result$importance > final<-m[2,] These lines of code will produce the follwing output: 0.966 0.0278 0.0058 0.00085 Now I was wondering if there is anyway to break this down even further, and be able to extract one piece of data from this one line. If anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it.
