Principal component analysis [message #57151]

Hi,
I am puzzled by principal component analysis. I calculated the eigenvalues
using both PCOMP and IMSP_PRINC_COMP routines. Could someone enlighten me
why the results are completely different? I have tried different keywords to
see whether I can match them by trial and error, but I had no success. There
must be someone out there who undertstands this much better than I do.

Thanks so much,
Haje
