PCA: Principal Component Analysis

In ChemometricsWithR: Chemometrics with R - Multivariate Data Analysis in the Natural Sciences and Life Sciences

Description

Functions for PCA: creating a PCA object, extracting variances, scores and loadings for individual PCs, projecting new data in the PC space, and reconstruction using a limited number of PCs.

Usage

PCA(X, warn = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'PCA'
summary(object, varperc = 90, pc.select = c(1:5,10), ...)
variances(object, npc = maxpc)
## S3 method for class 'PCA'
scores(object, npc = maxpc, ...)
## S3 method for class 'PCA'
loadings(object, npc = maxpc, ...)
reconstruct(object, npc = maxpc)
project(object, npc = maxpc, newdata, ldngs)

Arguments

X	a matrix, with each row representing an object.
warn	logical, whether or not to give a warning when the data are not mean-centered.
object	an object of class "PCA" (see below).
varperc	variance threshold in the summary function.
...	extra arguments, e.g., for printing the variance table (digits = ...).
pc.select	PCs to be included in the summary function.
npc	the number of PCs to be returned.
newdata	data (with the same number of variables as the original data) that are to be projected into the space of the first npc PCs.
ldngs	loadings to be used; by default the PCA loadings.

Value

Function PCA returns an object of class "PCA" with components

scores	object weights per PC.
loadings	variable weights per PC.
var	variance explained per PC.
totalvar	The total variance in the data set.

Function summary.PCA gives a short summary of the PCA model, stating how many PCs are needed to cover a certain percentage of the total variance, and for selected PCs gives the (cumulative) variance explained.

Function variances returns the variances associated with each PC.

Function scores returns the scores associated with each PC.

Function loadings returns the loadings associated with each PC.

Function reconstruct returns the reconstruction of the original data matrix, based on npc PCs.

Function project projects the new data into the subspace spanned by the given loadings. If argument ldngs is given, arguments pcamod and npc are not needed.
