plot.mjca: Plotting 2D maps in multiple and joint correspondence analysis

Description

Graphical display of multiple and joint correspondence analysis results in two dimensions

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mjca':
plot(x, dim = c(1,2), map = "symmetric", centroids = FALSE, what = c("all", "all"), 
               mass = c(FALSE, FALSE), contrib = c("none", "none"), 
               col = c("#000000", "#FF0000"), pch = c(16, 1, 17, 24), 
               labels = c(2, 2), arrows = c(FALSE, FALSE), ...)

Arguments

x

Multiple or joint correspondence analysis object returned by mjca

dim

Numerical vector of length 2 indicating the dimensions to plot on horizontal and vertical axes respectively; default is first dimension horizontal and second dimension vertical.

map

Character string specifying the map type. Allowed options include "symmetric" (default) "rowprincipal" "colprincipal" "symbiplot" "rowgab" "colgab" "rowgreen"

centroids

Logical indicating if column centroids should be added to the plot

what

Vector of two character strings specifying the contents of the plot. First entry sets the rows and the second entry the columns. Allowed values are "all" (all available points, default) "active" (only active points are displaye

mass

Vector of two logicals specifying if the mass should be represented by the area of the point symbols (first entry for rows, second one for columns)

contrib

Vector of two character strings specifying if contributions (relative or absolute) should be represented by different colour intensities. Available options are "none" (contributions are not indicated in the plot). "absolute" (abs

col

Vector of length 2 specifying the colours of row and column point symbols, by default black for rows and red for columns. Colours can be entered in hexadecimal (e.g. "#FF0000"), rgb (e.g. rgb(1,0,0)) values or by R-name (e.g.

pch

Vector of length 4 giving the type of points to be used for row active and supplementary, column active and supplementary points. See pchlist for a list of symbols.

labels

Vector of length two specifying if the plot should contain symbols only (0), labels only (1) or both symbols and labels (2). Setting labels to 2 results in the symbols being plotted at the c

arrows

Vector of two logicals specifying if the plot should contain points (FALSE, default) or arrows (TRUE). First value sets the rows and the second value sets the columns.

Further arguments passed to plot and points.

Details

The function plot.mjca makes a two-dimensional map of the object created by mjca with respect to two selected dimensions. By default the scaling option of the map is "symmetric", that is the so-called symmetric map. In this map both the row and column points are scaled to have inertias (weighted variances) equal to the principal inertia (eigenvalue) along the principal axes, that is both rows and columns are in pricipal coordinates. Other options are as follows: -{"rowprincipal" or "colprincipal" - these are the so-called asymmetric maps, with either rows in principal coordinates and columns in standard coordinates, or vice versa (also known as row-metric-preserving or column-metric-preserving respectively). These maps are biplots;} -{"symbiplot" - this scales both rows and columns to have variances equal to the singular values (square roots of eigenvalues), which gives a symmetric biplot but does not preserve row or column metrics;} -{"rowgab" or "colgab" - these are asymmetric maps (see above) with rows (respectively, columns) in principal coordinates and columns (respectively, rows) in standard coordinates multiplied by the mass of the corresponding point. These are also biplots and were proposed by Gabriel & Odoroff (1990);} -{"rowgreen" or "colgreen" - these are similar to "rowgab" and "colgab" except that the points in standard coordinates are multiplied by the square root of the corresponding masses, giving reconstructions of the standardized residuals.} This function has options for sizing and shading the points. If the option mass is TRUE for a set of points, the size of the point symbol is proportional to the relative frequency (mass) of each point. If the option contrib is "absolute" or "relative" for a set of points, the colour intensity of the point symbol is proportional to the absolute contribution of the points to the planar display or, respectively, the quality of representation of the points in the display.
