- performs principal component analysis
- input can be in the form of raw data, a correlation matrix, a covariance matrix, or a sum-of-squares-and-crossproducts (SSCP) matrix
- creates output data sets containing eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and standardized or unstandardized
principal component scores
- use ODS Graphics to display the scree plot, component pattern plot, component pattern
profile plot, matrix plot of component scores, and component score plots
- obtain separate analyses on observations in groups
- use relative weights for each observation in the input data set
- uses ODS to create a SAS data set corresponding to any table
