First, it was a pleasure to see so many of you in person at last week's NA
User's meeting in Boston!
Second, this problem.
I have a matrix, I can get the eigenvalues from the matrix eigenvalue
command, but I am unsure how to get the eigenvectors. Now, from what I
remember of linear algebra, I can always do this by hand and solve for the
n values of each eigenvector per eigenvalue, I just didn't want to have to
create a laborious Stata program that did the same thing (solving for
multiple unknowns with multiple equations). The only mention of the word
eigenvectors in Stata are with pca and factor and that is for variables
only (and these are not correlation/covariate matrices so I can't imagine
corr2data plus pca would work).
If there's an easy solution that I've missed, please forgive me, but I do
appreciate your attention and help.
