biplot.pcaCoDa: Biplot method

In robCompositions: Compositional Data Analysis

Biplot method

Description

Provides robust compositional biplots.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'pcaCoDa'
biplot(x, y, ..., choices = 1:2)

Arguments

x	object of class ‘pcaCoDa’
y	...
...	arguments passed to plot methods
choices	selection of two principal components by number. Default: c(1,2)

Details

The robust compositional biplot according to Aitchison and Greenacre (2002), computed from (robust) loadings and scores resulting from pcaCoDa, is performed.

Value

The robust compositional biplot.

Examples

data(coffee)
p1 <- pcaCoDa(coffee[,-1])
p1
plot(p1, which = 2, choices = 1:2)

# exemplarly, showing the first and third PC
a <- p1$princompOutputClr
biplot(a, choices = c(1,3))


## with labels for the scores:
data(arcticLake)
rownames(arcticLake) <- paste(sample(letters[1:26], nrow(arcticLake), replace=TRUE), 
                              1:nrow(arcticLake), sep="")
pc <- pcaCoDa(arcticLake, method="classical")
plot(pc, xlabs=rownames(arcticLake), which = 2)
plot(pc, xlabs=rownames(arcticLake), which = 3)
