gx.pairs4parts: Display a Graphical Matrix for Parts of a Compositional Data...

In rgr: Applied Geochemistry EDA

Description

Displays a graphical matrix of log10 scaled x-y plots in the upper triangle and boxplots of the ilr transforms in the lower triangle for the parts of a compositional matrix. The robust ilr stability (Filzmoser et al., 2010) for each x-y pair is displayed as the boxplot title.

Usage

gx.pairs4parts(xx, cex = 2, ifwarn = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

xx	a matrix, or sub-matrix, of parts from a compositional data set.
cex	by default the size of the text of the variable names in the diagonal of the graphical matrix. By default cex = 2, and may be changed if required.
ifwarn	by default ifwarn = TRUE which generates a reminder/warning that when carrying out analyses of compositional data all data must be in the same measurement units. The message can be suppressed by setting ifwarn = FALSE.
...	further arguments to be passed to plot or bxplot. For example, the size of the axis scale annotation can be change by setting cex.axis and the size of the plot title by setting cex.main. For example, if it is required to make the plot title smaller, add cex.main = 0.9 to reduce the font size by 10%.

Note

Any less than detection limit values represented by negative values, or zeros or other numeric codes representing blanks in the data, must be removed prior to executing this function, see ltdl.fix.df.

Any data vectors (rows) containing NAs are removed prior to computation.
