ChemoSpec (version 4.2.8)

plotScree: Scree Plots of PCA Results for a Spectra Object

Description

Functions to draw a traditional scree plot or an alternative that is perhaps more useful. These illustrate the importance of the components in a PCA analysis.

Usage

plotScree(pca, ...)
plotScree2(pca, ...)

Value

None. Side effect is a plot.

Rdversion

1.1

Details

If you add $method to the PCA results from other packages, this will plot a scree plot for any PCA results, not just those from Spectra objects.

References

The idea for the alternative style plot came from the NIR-Quimiometria blog by jrcuesta, at http://nir-quimiometria.blogspot.com/2012/02/pca-for-nir-spectrapart-004-projections.html

Examples

data(metMUD1)
results <- c_pcaSpectra(metMUD1)
plotScree(results, main = "metMUD1 NMR Data")
plotScree2(results, main = "metMUD1 NMR Data")
