fitCoinertia: Co-inertia analysis

In cocorresp: Co-Correspondence Analysis Methods

Co-inertia analysis

Description

Performs a co-inertia of the triplets (Q_1,K_1,R_0) and (Q_2,K_2,R_0).

Usage

fitCoinertia(X, Dp, Y, Dq, Dn, n.axes)




## S3 method for class 'fitCoinertia'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

X	Q_1, matrix of expected abundances under row-column independence in the original Y species matrix when treated as a contingency table.
Dp	K_1, species (column) weights for X.
Y	Q_2, matrix of expected abundances under row-column independence in the original X species matrix when treated as a contingency table.
Dq	K_2, species (column) weights for Y.
Dn	site weights R_0.
n.axes	number of axes to calculate the co-inertia analysis for.
object	an object of class coinertia.
axes	the number of axes to display when printing.
...	arguments passed to other functions. Currently ignored.

Value

A list with the following components:

U1	column weights of X.
U2	column weights of Y.
X1	rowscores of X.
X2	rowscores of Y.
lambda	the Eigenvalues (squares of the singular values).
n.axes	number of axes requested.
call	the matched function call.

Note

This function is not yet meant to be called directly by the user. If you wish to use it directly, see the function definition for symcoca which demonstrates how to prepare the relevant input matrices.

Note that in this function, X corresponds to the input matrix y and Y corresponds to the input matrix x in symcoca. Confusing! This will be changed in a future release but for now the arguments follow those of the original Matlab code - perhaps a little too closely!
