pcaDiag: Outlier Diagnostic Plots for PCA of a Spectra Object

Description

A function to carry diagnostics on the PCA results for a Spectra object. Basically a wrapper to Filzmoser's pcaDiagplot which colors everything according to the scheme stored in the Spectra object. Works with PCA results of either class "prcomp" or class "princomp". Works with either classical or robust PCA results.

Usage

pcaDiag(spectra, pca, pcs = 3, quantile = 0.975,
	plot = c("OD", "SD"), use.sym = FALSE, ...)

Value

A list is returned as described in pcaDiagplot, so the result must be assigned or it will appear at the console. Side effect is a plot.

Rdversion

1.1

Details

If both plots are desired, the output should be directed to a file rather than the screen. Otherwise, the 2nd plot overwrites the 1st in the active graphics window. Alternatively, just call the function twice, once specifying OD and once specifying SD.

Examples

data(SrE.IR)
results <- c_pcaSpectra(SrE.IR, choice = "noscale")
temp <- pcaDiag(SrE.IR, results, pcs = 2, plot = "OD")
temp <- pcaDiag(SrE.IR, results, pcs = 2, plot = "SD")
