PCArot: Varimax rotation in PCAmix

In PCAmixdata: Multivariate Analysis of Mixed Data

Description

Orthogonal rotation in PCAmix by maximization of the varimax function expressed in terms of PCAmix squared loadings (correlation ratios for qualitative variables and squared correlations for quantitative variables). PCArot includes the ordinary varimax rotation in Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a varimax-type rotation in Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) as special cases.

Usage

PCArot(obj, dim, itermax = 100, graph = TRUE)

Arguments

obj	an object of class PCAmix.
dim	number of rotated Principal Components.
itermax	maximum number of iterations in the Kaiser's practical optimization algorithm based on successive pairwise planar rotations.
graph	boolean, if TRUE the following graphs are displayed for the first two dimensions after rotation: plot of the individuals (factor coordinates), plot of the variables (squared loadings) plot of the correlation circle (if quantitative variables are available), plot of the levels component map (if qualitative variables are available).

Details

If X.quali is not specified (i.e. NULL) in the previous PCAmix step, only quantitative variables are available and standard varimax rotation in PCA is performed. If X.quanti is NULL, only qualitative variables are available and varimax-type rotation in MCA is performed. Note that p1 is the number of quantitative variables, p2 is the number of qualitative variables and m is the total number of levels of the p2 qualitative variables.

Value

eig	variances of the ndim dimensions after rotation.
ind$coord	a n by dim quantitative matrix which contains the coordinates (scores) of the n individuals on the dim rotated principal components.
quanti$coord	a p1 by dim quantitative matrix which contains the coordinates (loadings) of the p1 quantitative variables after rotation. The coordinates of the quantitative variables after rotation are correlations with the rotated principal components.
levels$coord	a m by dim quantitative matrix which contains the coordinates of the m levels on the dim rotated principal components.
quali$coord	a p2 by dim quantitative matrix which contains the coordinates of the p2 qualitative variables on the dim rotated principal components. Coordinates of the qualitative variables after rotation are correlation ratio with the rotated principal components.
coef	coefficients of the linear combinations used to construct the rotated principal components of PCAmix.
theta	angle of rotation if dim is equal to 2.
T	matrix of rotation.
