Hello
The solution maybe there but i need to compute it into R if someone can
help me :
(Previously store score vector t in score matrix T; store loading vector p
in loading matrix P) that's done by nipals in chemometrics
After use of nipals function you have T and P matrix

First : "Calculate the residual matrix of X. Stop if the elements of Xres
are very small
because no further PCA components are reasonable" :
Xres= X-u.b(T)

u : improved score vector
b: loading vector
X : a mean-centered matrix

Second : Replace X with Xres and continue with step 2 (with nipals
chemometrics...) for calculation of the next PCA
component.

If someone can help me ?
Thank's a lot
