getting error by using princomp in matlab for writtinf code for PCA i.eAttempt to execute SCRIPT pca as a function: C:\Users\u​ser\Deskto​p\lib svm\pca.m Error in princomp (line 29) [varargout​{1:nargout​}]=pca(var​argin{1},'​Algorithm'​,'svd','Ec​onomy

here is my code

data=xlsread('cloln.xlsx');

B=data-repmat(mean(data),62,1);

   [coff,score,latent]=princomp(B);
    S=cumsum(latent)./sum(latent);
     s=S';
     display(size(coff));
      for i=1:4
          if(s(i)<0.99)
            coff(:,i)=[];
          end
      end
      display(size(coff));
      score1=B*coff;

The PRINCOMP function calls PCA. Normally it calls the PCA function in Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox but since you have created your own pca.m script file (C:\Users\user\Desktop\lib svm\pca.m) in the current directory or higher on the MATLAB search path than the toolbox, it tries to call that script file like a function instead. This will not work, and MATLAB throws an error when it tries to call that script like a function. I recommend renaming or removing your pca.m script file.
