ratioLoadings: Loadings of relations of two amounts

Description

In a compositional dataset the relation of two objects can be interpreted safer than a single amount. These functions compute, display and plot the corresponding pair-information for the various principal component analysis results.

Usage

relativeLoadings(x,...)
## S3 method for class 'princomp.acomp':
relativeLoadings(x,\dots,log=FALSE,scale.sdev=NA,cutoff=0.1)
## S3 method for class 'princomp.aplus':
relativeLoadings(x,\dots,log=FALSE,scale.sdev=NA,cutoff=0.1)
## S3 method for class 'princomp.rcomp':
relativeLoadings(x,\dots,scale.sdev=NA,cutoff=0.1)
## S3 method for class 'princomp.rplus':
relativeLoadings(x,\dots,scale.sdev=NA,cutoff=0.1)
## S3 method for class 'relativeLoadings.princomp.acomp':
print(x,\dots,cutoff=attr(x,"cutoff"),digits=2)
## S3 method for class 'relativeLoadings.princomp.aplus':
print(x,\dots,cutoff=attr(x,"cutoff"),
                                                 digits=2)
## S3 method for class 'relativeLoadings.princomp.rcomp':
print(x,\dots,cutoff=attr(x,"cutoff"),
                                                 digits=2)
## S3 method for class 'relativeLoadings.princomp.rplus':
print(x,\dots,cutoff=attr(x,"cutoff"),
                                                 digits=2)
## S3 method for class 'relativeLoadings.princomp.acomp':
plot(x,\dots)
## S3 method for class 'relativeLoadings.princomp.aplus':
plot(x,\dots)
## S3 method for class 'relativeLoadings.princomp.rcomp':
plot(x,\dots)
## S3 method for class 'relativeLoadings.princomp.rplus':
plot(x,\dots)

Arguments

x

a result from an amount PCA princomp.acomp/princomp.aplus/princomp.rcomp/

log

a logical indicating to use log-ratios instead of ratios

scale.sdev

if not NA, a number specifying the multiple of a standard deviation, used to scale the components

cutoff

a single number. Changes under that (log)-cutoff are not displayed

digits

the number of digits to be displayed

...

further parameters to internally-called functions

Value

• The value is a matrix of type "relativeLoadings.princomp.*", containing the ratios in the compositions represented by the loadings (optionally scaled by the standard deviation of the components and scale.sdev).

Details

The relative loadings of components allow a direct interpretation of the effects of principal components. For acomp/aplus classes the relation is induced by a ratio, which can optionally be log-transformed. For the rcomp/rplus-classes the relation is induced by a difference, which is meaningless when the units are different.
