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.
An object of class prcomp or prcomp,
modified to include a character string ($method) describing the
pre-processing carried out and the type of PCA performed.
pcs
As per pcaDiagplot. The number of
principal components to include.
quantile
As per pcaDiagplot. The
significance criteria to use as a cutoff.
plot
A character string, indicating whether to plot the score
distances or orthogonal distances, or both. Options are c("OD",
"SD").
use.sym
logical; if true, the color scheme is change to black and
symbols are used for plotting.
…
Additional parameters to be passed to the plotting functions.
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.
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.
