pcaDiagplot: Diagnostics plot for PCA

Description

Score distances and of the orthogonal distances are computed and plotted.

Usage

pcaDiagplot(X, X.pca, a = 2, quantile = 0.975, plot = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

X

numeric data frame or matrix

X.pca

PCA object resulting e.g. from princomp

a

number of principal components

quantile

quantile for the critical cut-off values

plot

if TRUE a plot is generated

...

additional graphics parameters, see par

Value

• SDist
  Score distances
• ODist
  Orthogonal distances
• critSD
  critical cut-off value for the score distances
• critOD
  critical cut-off value for the orthogonal distances

Details

The score distance measures the outlyingness of the onjects within the PCA space using Mahalanobis distances. The orthogonal distance measures the distance of the objects orthogonal to the PCA space. Cut-off values for both distance measures help to distinguish between outliers and regular observations.
