Plots MCA cloud of variables with ggplot2

Description

Plots a Multiple Correspondence Analysis cloud of variables, using ggplots functions.

Usage

ggcloud_variables(resmca, axes=c(1,2), points='all', 
min.ctr=NULL, max.pval=0.01, face="pp",
shapes=TRUE, prop=NULL, textsize=3, shapesize=3,
col=NULL, palette=NULL, col.by.group=TRUE, alpha=1,
segment.alpha=0.5, vlab=TRUE, sep='.', legend='right')

Arguments

resmca	object of class MCA, speMCA, csMCA, stMCA or multiMCA.
axes	numeric vector of length 2, specifying the components (axes) to plot. Default is c(1,2).
points	character string. If 'all' all categories are plotted (default); if 'besth' only those who contribute most to horizontal axis are plotted; if 'bestv' only those who contribute most to vertical axis are plotted; if 'best' only those who contribute most to horizontal or vertical axis are plotted.
min.ctr	Numerical value between 0 and 100. The minimum contribution (in percent) for a category to be displayed if the points argument is equal to "best", "besth" or "bestv" and resmca is of type MCA, speMCA or csMCA. If NULL (default), only the categories that contribute more than the average (i.e. 100 / number of modalities) are displayed.
max.pval	Numerical value between 0 and 100. The maximal p-value derived from test-values for a category to be displayed if the points argument is equal to "best", "besth" or "bestv" and resmca is of type stMCA or multiMCA.
face	character string. Changes the face of the category labels when their contribution is greater than min.ctr. The first letter refers to the first represented axis, the second letter to the second. "p" is for plain text, "u" for underlined, "i" for italic and "b" for bold. For example, "ui" means that the labels of the most contributing categories on the first axis will be underlined and the labels of the most contributing categories on the second axis will be italicized. By default ("pp"), no font face change is made. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
shapes	Logical. Should shapes be plotted for categories (in addition to labels) ? Default is TRUE.
prop	If NULL, the size of the labels (if shapes=FALSE) or the shapes (if shapes=TRUE) is constant. If 'n', the size is proportional the the weights of categories; if 'ctr1', the size is proportional to the contributions of the categories on the first dimension of the plot; if 'ctr2', the size is proportional to the contributions of the categories on the second dimension of the plot; if 'ctr.cloud', the size is proportional to the total contributions of the categories on the whole cloud; if 'cos1', the size is proportional to the cosines of the categories on the first dimension of the plot; if 'cos2', the size is proportional to the cosines of the categories on the second dimension of the plot; if 'cos12', the size is proportional to the total cosines of the categories on the two dimensions of the plot; if 'vtest1', the size is proportional to the test-values of the categories on the first dimension of the plot; if 'vtest2', the size is proportional to the test-values of the categories on the second dimension of the plot.
textsize	Size of the labels of categories if shapes=TRUE, or if shapes=FALSE and prop=NULL. Default is 3.
shapesize	Size if the shapes of categories if shapes=TRUE and prop=FALSE. Default is 3.
col	Character. A unique color for the shapes and labels of the categories. Default is NULL, which means a palette will be used instead of a unique color (see palette argument).
palette	Character string or character vector. Only used if col is NULL. Colors for the shapes and labels of the categories, differentiated by variable. Can be the name of a palette from the RcolorBrewer package, "bw" for a black and white palette (uses scale_color_grey()) or a character vector of colors for a custom palette. If NULL (default), the default palette of ggplot2 is used.
col.by.group	Logical. If resmca is of type multimCA, categories are colored by group from the MFA if TRUE (default) and by variable if FALSE.
alpha	Transparency of the shapes and labels of categories. Default is 1.
segment.alpha	Transparency of the line segment beside labels of categories. Default is 0.5.
vlab	Logical. Should the variable names be used as a prefix for the labels of the categories. Default is TRUE.
sep	Character string used as a separator if vlab=TRUE.
legend	the position of legends ("none", "left", "right", "bottom", "top", or two-element numeric vector). Default is right.

Examples

## Performs a specific MCA on 'Music' example data set
## ignoring every 'NA' (i.e. 'not available') categories,
## and then draws the cloud of categories.
data(Music)
getindexcat(Music[,1:5])
mca <- speMCA(Music[,1:5],excl=c(3,6,9,12,15))
ggcloud_variables(mca)
ggcloud_variables(mca, points='best', prop='n', palette='Set2')
ggcloud_variables(mca, shapes=FALSE, legend="none", col="black", face="ui")
