[R 3.0 icon] What does PNCOMP do ? Program PNCOMP produces a reduced-space ordination using the method of principal component analysis (PCA) described in all textbooks of multivariate statistics. That very general method of analysis includes several variants; the main ones are briefly discussed in Table 3 of the documentation. We have written only a Macintosh version of this program, since many other packages offer this type of analysis on mainframes. The computations are made from a raw data table, which may contain missing values. The program produces graphs as well as a file of results, if the user request them. For the time being, the program can handle no more than 55 variables
