Hello R-sig-ecology group,

I was wondering if anyone is aware of an example where PCA is used as a
predictive model? A community analysis example might be to predict the PC
values of a sample given its community composition. I had thrown this
question up on a statistics forum (
http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/28916/can-empirical-orthogonal-function-eof-analysis-be-used-as-a-predictive-model)
but have gotten hardly any response. I imagined that there are some folks
here that would have some insight into this problem.

Many thanks,
Marc
