rlq: RLQ analysis

Description

RLQ analysis performs a double inertia analysis of two arrays (R and Q) with a link expressed by a contingency table (L). The rows of L correspond to the rows of R and the columns of L correspond to the rows of Q.

Usage

rlq(dudiR, dudiL, dudiQ, scannf = TRUE, nf = 2)
"print"(x, ...)
"plot"(x, xax = 1, yax = 2, ...)
"summary"(object, ...)
"randtest"(xtest,nrepet = 999, modeltype = 6,...)

Arguments

dudiR

a duality diagram providing from one of the functions dudi.hillsmith, dudi.pca, ...

dudiL

a duality diagram of the function dudi.coa

dudiQ

a duality diagram providing from one of the functions dudi.hillsmith, dudi.pca, ...

scannf

a logical value indicating whether the eigenvalues bar plot should be displayed

nf

if scannf FALSE, an integer indicating the number of kept axes

x

an rlq object

xax

the column number for the x-axis

yax

the column number for the y-axis

object

an rlq object

xtest

an rlq object

nrepet

the number of permutations

modeltype

the model used to permute data(2: permute rows of R, 4: permute rows of Q, 5: permute both, 6: sequential approach, see ter Braak et al. 2012)

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

Returns a list of class 'dudi', sub-class 'rlq' containing:

WARNING

IMPORTANT : row weights for dudiR and dudiQ must be taken from dudiL.
