Hi,
I was wondering if function eigen() does something different from the
function call eigen() in SAS.
I'm in the process of translating a SAS code into a R code and the
values of
the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a square matrix came out to be
different
from the values in SAS.
Examples?
Were you under the impression that eigenvectors and eigenvalues were
uniquely determined? You should review your matrix algebra. The
question should be whether they are the same (still modulo sign) after
normalization.
I would also appreciate it if someone can explain the difference in
simple
terms. I'm pretty new to both programs. Thanks for your help-
