I'm new in biostatistics and I work on something about GWAS with plink.
I used plink 1.9 to do the PCA with the code as following:
plink --bfile data --pca
and get the .eigenval and .eigenvec file.
I think the results of eigenval file (as following)is wired, is that mean the amount of variance accounted for by the principle component? if it is, should I count the percentage variance explained by certain PC divided by total variance? But the percentage is too small.how many eigenvectors should I choose then?
