How to Run an Eigen Analysis (from a Correlation Matrix)

From the see Also Principal Components item in the list (with links to subtopics): Principal components method Nonuniqueness of coefficients || Eigenanalysis EigenvectorsScores Eigenvalue Proportion Cumulative proportion || How to Compute Z-Scores The scores are: Z = Y A where: Z = matrix of principal components scores (n*m) Y = standardized data matrix (n*p) A = matrix of eigenvectors (p*m) || Couldn't make it work yet. May try again later.
