[R-sig-Geo] Factor Analysis using R and grass

Thanks for the response; the data sets are centroid based with 20 to 30
variables per centroid. What has been suggested will work with rasters but
not with vectors. What I need to know it is possible to conduct a PCA on
vector data sets and store the results as additional variables. I am
interested in the impact of the nearest neighbour on the particular score. I
work with human services planning data and am looking at developing more
effective measures for local area planning. Theoretically speaking a
geo-statistical approach will give a truer result that current aspatial
approaches.

I am new to both R and Grass. I need to duplicate the Principal Component
Analysis approach used in SPSS with GRASS and R. Is this possible?
