Good morning. 

 

I am trying to calculate the eigenvectors corresponding to a eigenvalue of a dataset. 

 

The data has 361 variables and ~2400 observations each. 

 

I have the 361 eigenvalues using the Proc Princomp.

 

Now I need to calculate the eigenvectors of third eigenvalue and fourth eigenvalue. How can I do that using SAS Studio UE?

Assuming SAS Studio doesn't run out of memory Smiley Mad

 

you want to use the OUTSTAT= option of PROC PRINCOMP and then this OUTSTAT= data set will contain the eigenvectors in that data set, listed next to _TYPE_='SCORE', you are looking for _NAME_='Prin3' and _NAME_='Prin4'
