The pcaMethods package offers a collection of different algorithms for PCA, some of which (NIPALS and others) can be used on data that have missing values. Kevin Wright On Nov 24, 2007 4:59 PM, Hartmut Oldenbürger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Birgit, and All > > Possibly you should not consid

Hi Birgit, and All Possibly you should not consider the case completed ;-) There is an important alternative to imputing means, or estimates from first or second order regression (Frane, Psychometrica, BMDP): partial-least-squares (Wold), which uses as much information from the data as possible t

The 'factor.model.stat' function (available in the public domain area of http://www.burns-stat.com) fits a principal components factor model to data that can have NAs. You might be able to copy what it does for your purposes. It does depend on there being some variables (columns) that have no missi

Dear all, (Mac OS X 10.4.11, R 2.6.0) I have a quantitative dataset with a lot of Na´s in it. So many, that it is not possible to delete all rows with NA´s and also not possible, to delete all variables with NA´s. Is there a function for a principal component analysis, that can deal with so
