I have a matrix 100x100 and I found it's biggest eigenvalue. Now I need to find eigenvector corresponding to this eigenvalue. How can I do this?
eigen
function doesn't give you what you are looking for?
> B <- matrix(1:9, 3)
> eigen(B)
$values
[1] 1.611684e+01 -1.116844e+00 -4.054214e-16
$vectors
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] -0.4645473 -0.8829060 0.4082483
[2,] -0.5707955 -0.2395204 -0.8164966
[3,] -0.6770438 0.4038651 0.4082483
Reading the actual help of the eigen function state that the $vectors
is a :
"a p*p matrix whose columns contain the eigenvectors of x."
The actual vector corresponding to the biggest eigen value is the 1st column of $vectors
.
To directly get it:
> B <- matrix(1:9, 3)
> eig <- eigen(B)
> eig$vectors[,which.max(eig$values)]
[1] -0.4645473 -0.5707955 -0.6770438
# equivalent to:
> eig$vectors[,1]
[1] -0.4645473 -0.5707955 -0.6770438
Note that the answer of @user2080209 does not work: it would return the first row.
