\name{pcaMethods} \title{pcaMethods} \description{Principal Component Analysis in R} \details{\tabular{ll}{ Package: \tab pcaMethods \cr Type: \tab Package \cr Developed since: \tab 2006 \cr License: \tab GPL (>=3) \cr LazyLoad: \tab yes \cr } Provides Bayesian PCA, Probabilistic PCA, Nipals PCA, Inverse Non-Linear PCA and the conventional SVD PCA. A cluster based method for missing value estimation is included for comparison. BPCA, PPCA and NipalsPCA may be used to perform PCA on incomplete data as well as for accurate missing value estimation. A set of methods for printing and plotting the results is also provided. All PCA methods make use of the same data structure (pcaRes) to provide a unique interface to the PCA results.
