Re: [R] sparse PCA using nsprcomp package

Hi John I am currently traveling and have sporadic net access, I therefore can only answer briefly. It's also quite late, I hope what follows still makes sense... > For regular PCA by prcomp(), we can easily calculate the percent of total > variance explained by the first k PCs by using cumsum(
