Could you please tell me how I could get access to the loading plot of a PCA analysis? Thank you.

I am not sure, whether I understand your question correctly. If you intend to make a PCA from multidimensional data and then plot the 2 or 3 most significant dimensions, then you need to do these steps:

- Data-> Calculate Principal Components...
- select the columns that contain your input data (or a descriptor column of chemical structures)
- click OK

Does this answer your question?

Thomas,
I am sorry that I did not pose my question clearly. The PCA plots (PC1 vs PC2, for example) generated as per your instructions are the scores, describing the relations among the observations (samples, rows); I am trying to see if the corresponding loadings plots describing the relationships among the variables (columns) can be displayed as well. Thank you.

Kellie,
thank you for clarifying. Currently the linear contribution factors (loadings) of the original dimensions are just used internally. One could think of adding a button that allows to copy them as a new table into the clipboard. A paste operation would then create a new DataWarrior file allowing to depict the contributions.

A small update: I just added a checkbox in the PCA dialog that allows to open an additional window after PCA calculation showing a table with the originally selected variables in rows and their Eigen values in columns. Plots of scores and loadings are equivalent to this example: https://learnche.org/pid/latent-variable-modelling/principal -component-analysis/interpreting-score-plots-and-loading-plo ts

Thus, the next version will have it.
