Decomposition of inertia (i.e. contributions) in multivariate methods

Description

Computes the decomposition of inertia to measure the contributions of row and/or columns in multivariate methods

Usage

## S3 method for class 'dudi'
inertia(x, row.inertia = FALSE, col.inertia = FALSE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'inertia'
print(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'inertia'
summary(object, sort.axis = 1, subset = 5, ...)

Arguments

x, object	a duality diagram, object of class dudi for inertia.dudi. An object of class inertia for the methods print and summary
row.inertia	if TRUE, returns the decomposition of inertia for the rows
col.inertia	if TRUE, returns the decomposition of inertia for the columns
sort.axis	the kept axis used to sort the contributions in decreasing order
subset	the number of rows and/or columns to display in the summary
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods

Details

Contributions are printed in percentage and the sign is the sign of the coordinates

Value

An object of class inertia, i.e. a list containing :

tot.inertia	repartition of the total inertia between axes
row.contrib	contributions of the rows to the total inertia
row.abs	absolute contributions of the rows (i.e. decomposition per axis)
row.rel	relative contributions of the rows
row.cum	cumulative relative contributions of the rows (i.e. decomposition per row)
col.contrib	contributions of the columns to the total inertia
col.abs	absolute contributions of the columns (i.e. decomposition per axis)
col.rel	relative contributions of the columns
col.cum	cumulative relative contributions of the columns (i.e. decomposition per column)
nf	the number of kept axes
