Have you read the manual page for prcomp()?

?prcomp

Look at the examples, particularly the use of the scale.= argument.

Subject: [R] prcomp() on correlation matrix

Dear R users,

I am trying to do a Principal Components Analysis using the prcomp() function based on the correlation matrix. How can I determine to calculate PCA on a correlation or covariance matrix using prcomp()?


Thanks in advance.
