Stores the coefficients, scores, and Mahalanobis distances.

Dialog box items

Coefficients: Enter the storage columns for the coefficients of the principal components. The number of columns specified must be less than or equal to the number of principal components calculated.

Scores: Enter the storage columns for the principal components scores. Scores are linear combinations of your data using the coefficients. The number of columns specified must be less than or equal to the number of principal components calculated.

Eigenvalues: Enter a column to store the eigenvalues of the matrix that was factored. The eigenvalues are stored in numerical order from largest to smallest. You can plot the eigenvalues to obtain a Scree plot.

Distances: Enter a column to store the Mahalanobis distance value for each row in your worksheet.
