Principal Component Analysis Plots with PROC PRINCOMP |
This example is taken from Example 72.3 of Chapter 72, The PRINCOMP Procedure. The following statements create a SAS data set that contains ratings of job performance of police officers:
options validvarname=any; data Jobratings; input ('Communication Skills'n 'Problem Solving'n 'Learning Ability'n 'Judgment Under Pressure'n 'Observational Skills'n 'Willingness to Confront Problems'n 'Interest in People'n 'Interpersonal Sensitivity'n 'Desire for Self-Improvement'n 'Appearance'n 'Dependability'n 'Physical Ability'n 'Integrity'n 'Overall Rating'n) (1.); datalines; 26838853879867 ... more lines ... ;
The following statements run PROC PRINCOMP:
ods graphics on; proc princomp data=Jobratings(drop='Overall Rating'n) n=2 plots=(Matrix PatternProfile); run;
The plots are requested by the PLOTS=(MATRIX PATTERNPROFILE) option. The results, shown in Figure 21.11, contain the default scree and variance-explained plots, along with a scatter plot matrix of component scores and a pattern profile plot.
