Stata Pca Predict. The score option tells stata s predict command to compute the scores of the components and pc1 and pc2 are the names we have chosen for the two new variables. By some could be to create indexes out of each cluster of variables.
Step 3 predict another option called. We could have obtained the first three factors by typing for example predict pc1 pc2 pc3 score. Pca is very good to find such an index if you reach a solution with one major first principal component explaining the by far major part of variance.
Step 3 predict another option called.
An important feature of stata is that it does not have modes or modules. Pca is very good to find such an index if you reach a solution with one major first principal component explaining the by far major part of variance. Predict p1 p2 would give you scores for the first two pcs. For example owner and competition define one factor.
