Correspondence Analysis-Based Seriation

Description

Correspondence Analysis-Based Seriation

Usage

seriate_average(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'data.frame'
seriate_average(
  object,
  margin = c(1, 2),
  axes = 1,
  sup_row = NULL,
  sup_col = NULL,
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'matrix'
seriate_average(
  object,
  margin = c(1, 2),
  axes = 1,
  sup_row = NULL,
  sup_col = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

object	A m \times p numeric matrix or data.frame of count data (absolute frequencies giving the number of individuals for each category, i.e. a contingency table). A data.frame will be coerced to a numeric matrix via data.matrix().
...	Currently not used.
margin	A numeric vector giving the subscripts which the rearrangement will be applied over: 1 indicates rows, 2 indicates columns, c(1, 2) indicates rows then columns, c(2, 1) indicates columns then rows.
axes	An integer vector giving the subscripts of the CA axes to be used.
sup_row	A vector specifying the indices of the supplementary rows (see dimensio::ca()).
sup_col	A vector specifying the indices of the supplementary columns (see dimensio::ca()).

Details

Correspondence analysis (CA) is an effective method for the seriation of archaeological assemblages. The order of the rows and columns is given by the coordinates along one dimension of the CA space, assumed to account for temporal variation. The direction of temporal change within the correspondence analysis space is arbitrary: additional information is needed to determine the actual order in time.

Value

An AveragePermutationOrder object.

Examples

## Replicates Desachy 2004 results
data("compiegne", package = "folio")

## Get seriation order for columns on EPPM using the reciprocal averaging method
## Expected column order: N, A, C, K, P, L, B, E, I, M, D, G, O, J, F, H
(indices <- seriate_rank(compiegne, EPPM = TRUE, margin = 2))

## Get permutation order
order_rows(indices)
order_columns(indices)

## Permute columns
(new <- permute(compiegne, indices))
