In GDAtools: Geometric Data Analysis

Heatmap of under/over-representation of a supplementary variable

Description

Adds a heatmap representing the correlation coefficients to a MCA cloud of individuals, for a numerical supplementary variable or one category of a categorical supplementary variable.

Usage

ggadd_corr(p, resmca, var, cat = levels(var)[1], axes = c(1,2),
xbins = 20, ybins = 20, min.n = 1, pal = "RdYlBu", limits = NULL, legend = "right")

Arguments

p	ggplot2 object with the cloud of variables
resmca	object of class MCA, speMCA, csMCA, stMCA or multiMCA
var	factor or numerical vector. The supplementary variable used for the heatmap.
cat	character string. The category of var to plot (by default, the first level of var is plotted). Only used if var is a factor.
axes	numeric vector of length 2, specifying the components (axes) to plot. Default is c(1,2).
xbins	integer. Number of bins in the x axis. Default is 20.
ybins	integer. Number of bins in the y axis. Default is 20.
min.n	integer. Minimal number of points for a tile to be drawn. By default, every tiles are drawn.
pal	character string. Name of a (preferably diverging) palette from the RColorBrewer package. Default is "RdYlBu".
limits	numerical vector of length 2. Lower and upper limits of the correlation coefficients for the color scale. Should be centered around 0 for a better view of under/over-representations (for example c(-0.2,0.2)). By default, the maximal absolute value of the correlation coefficients is used.
legend	the position of legends ("none", "left", "right", "bottom", "top", or two-element numeric vector). Default is right.

Details

For each tile of the heatmap, a correlation coefficient is computed between the supplementary variable and the fact of belonging to the tile. This gives a view of the under/over-representation of the supplementary variable according to the position in the cloud of individuals.

Value

a ggplot2 object
