dudi.pca: Principal Component Analysis

In ade4: Analysis of Ecological Data : Exploratory and Euclidean Methods in Environmental Sciences

Description

dudi.pca performs a principal component analysis of a data frame and returns the results as objects of class pca and dudi.

Usage

dudi.pca(df, row.w = rep(1, nrow(df))/nrow(df), 
    col.w = rep(1, ncol(df)), center = TRUE, scale = TRUE, 
    scannf = TRUE, nf = 2)

Arguments

df	a data frame with n rows (individuals) and p columns (numeric variables)
row.w	an optional row weights (by default, uniform row weights)
col.w	an optional column weights (by default, unit column weights)
center	a logical or numeric value, centring option if TRUE, centring by the mean if FALSE no centring if a numeric vector, its length must be equal to the number of columns of the data frame df and gives the decentring
scale	a logical value indicating whether the column vectors should be normed for the row.w weighting
scannf	a logical value indicating whether the screeplot should be displayed
nf	if scannf FALSE, an integer indicating the number of kept axes

Value

Returns a list of classes pca and dudi (see dudi) containing the used information for computing the principal component analysis :

tab	the data frame to be analyzed depending of the transformation arguments (center and scale)
cw	the column weights
lw	the row weights
eig	the eigenvalues
rank	the rank of the analyzed matrice
nf	the number of kept factors
c1	the column normed scores i.e. the principal axes
l1	the row normed scores
co	the column coordinates
li	the row coordinates i.e. the principal components
call	the call function
cent	the p vector containing the means for variables (Note that if center = F, the vector contains p 0)
norm	the p vector containing the standard deviations for variables i.e. the root of the sum of squares deviations of the values from their means divided by n (Note that if norm = F, the vector contains p 1)
