[R] Finding Coordinate of Max/Min Value in a Data Frame

[DavidM.UK]

Firstly surely (CL,PC5) = -0.7416656 is the minima?

I think something like this should work, though I'm not sure

library(MASS) 
data(crabs) 
crab.pca <- prcomp(crabs[,4:8],retx=TRUE) 
x<- crab.pca$rotation 
c.len = length(x[,1])
r.len = length(x[1,])
maxy = which(x == min(x))
x.co <- ceiling(maxy/c.len)
y.co <- maxy-(x.co-1)*c.len

Though I'm sure their is a more simple solution to your problem,

Best,
