PCA.biplot: Calculate elements for the PCA biplot

In biplotEZ: EZ-to-Use Biplots

Calculate elements for the PCA biplot

Description

This function performs calculations for the construction of a PCA biplot.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'biplot'
PCA(
  bp,
  dim.biplot = c(2, 1, 3),
  e.vects = 1:ncol(bp$X),
  group.aes = NULL,
  show.class.means = FALSE,
  correlation.biplot = FALSE
)

Arguments

bp	an object of class biplot obtained from preceding function biplot().
dim.biplot	the dimension of the biplot. Only values 1, 2 and 3 are accepted, with default 2.
e.vects	the vector indicating which eigenvectors (principal components) should be plotted in the biplot, with default 1:dim.biplot.
group.aes	a vector of the same length as the number of rows in the data matrix for differentiated aesthetics for samples.
show.class.means	a logical value indicating whether group means should be plotted in the biplot.
correlation.biplot	a logical value. If FALSE, the distances between sample points are optimally approximated in the biplot. If TRUE, the correlations between variables are optimally approximated by the cosine of the angles between axes. Default is FALSE.

Value

an object of class PCA, inherits from class biplot.

Examples

biplot(iris[,1:4]) |> PCA()
# create a PCA biplot
biplot(data = iris) |> PCA() |> plot()
