Plot a Parallel Analysis Class Object

Description

Plot a scree plot adding information about a parallel analysis.

Usage

plotParallel(parallel, eig = NA, x = eig, model = "components",
  legend = TRUE, ylab = "Eigenvalues", xlab = "Components",
  main = "Parallel Analysis", ...)

Arguments

parallel

numeric: vector of the results of a previous parallel analysis

eig

depreciated parameter: eigenvalues to analyse (not used if x is used, recommended)

x

numeric: a vector of eigenvalues, a matrix of correlations or of covariances or a data.frame of data

model

character: "components" or "factors"

legend

logical: indicator of the presence or not of a legend

ylab

character: label of the y axis

xlab

character: label of the x axis

main

character: title of the plot

...

variable: additionnal parameters to give to the cor or cov functions

Details

If eig is FALSE the plot shows only the parallel analysis without eigenvalues.

Value

Nothing returned.
