How to reverse the PCA calculated from prcomp?

I want to reverse the PCA calculated from prcomp to get back to my original data. but it doesn’t. The following link shows how to get back the original data from PCs, but explains it only for PCA using eigen on the covariance matrix http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~jpn/r/pca/pca.html

Is there a way to reverse PCA and dimensionality reduction?

There are several similar threads with decent answers but all seem to have serious limitations, like e.g. focusing exclusively on R.$\\endgroup$– amoebaAug 9 ’16 at 23:54 4

How is the rotation matrix used in PCA?

Every software that computes PCA will return you a rotation matrix; in R’s prcomp () function, it’s the $rotation part of the output: The first is the rotated data, also known as the principal component scores; the second is actual rotation matrix used to transform the data from the original to the principal component scores.

How many variables do you need for PCA?

PCA tells you weather you really need 10 variables to completely describe the event or weather a lesser number of variables can completely describe it. We find these lesser variable by taking linear combinations of the existing 10 variables which are orthogonal to each other.

How to reverse PCA and reconstruct original variables?

How to reverse PCA and dimensionality reduction in Excel?

Then the $n imes k$ matrix of PCA projections (“scores”) will be simply given by $\\mathbf Z=\\mathbf {XV}$. This is illustrated on the figure below: the first subplot shows some centered data (the same data that I use in my animationsin the linked thread) and its projections on the first principal axis.
