Hello researchgate community!

My name is Giselle Ailin Chichizola, I am from Argentina (South America) and I have a PhD in biology, currently with a postdoctoral scholarship. I am doing a PCA with different seed germination parameters (% germination, mean and onset of germination time) of natine species from two types of environments in Patagonia, Argentina to study their dormancy mechanisms.

I am using R package "factoextra", and I would like to know what happens with the missing values (NA) in the response variables, what does the program do internally to be able to do the PCA, does it average them, disregard them, put some value to them?

If someone could help me to understand what the program does, I would be pleased to receive your answer. It would be very useful for the revision of a paper.

Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to your reply.
