Principal components analysis: At first compute the correlation matrix CORR.M and the matrix of means and standard deviations MSN.M by the command CORR <data>. Then the principal components can be computed from the correlation matrix by the sucro command /PCOMPR CORR.M,MSN.M,m where m gives the number of principal components to be computed. If the principal components are to be computed from the COVARIANCE matrix then the sucro command /PCOMPCOV CORR.M,MSN.M,m should be used. More information is obtained by activating /PCOMPR ? /PCOMPCOV ? M = More information on multivariate analysis
