Subject: [Rd] Typo in the documentation of prcomp. (PR#569)
Message-ID: <200006141215.OAA07492@pubhealth.ku.dk>

The help for prcomp on R 1.0.0 states that the component sdev of the
return value is the eigenvalues of the cov matrix.  Am I completely
mistaken, or should this be the _square root_ of the eigenvalues?

Also, the documentation is not very clear about how tol is used to omit
components.  (The _code_ is clear, though. :-)
