The version of ShapeWorksView that I’m using allows you to export “PCA Loading Values.”  Because the values can be much greater or smaller than +1 or -1, I assume that they are, in fact, the PC scores.  Is that correct?  That is what I assumed in the past, but I want to be sure.

 

Essentially, how should I interpret the loading values output from ShapeWorks?

 

Thanks,

Mike
