randProj: Random projections of multidimensional data modeled by an MVN mixture.

Description

Plots random projections given multidimensional data and parameters of an MVN mixture model for the data.

Usage

randProj(data, seeds=0, parameters=NULL, z=NULL,
         classification=NULL, truth=NULL, uncertainty=NULL, 
         what = c("classification", "errors", "uncertainty"),
         quantiles = c(0.75, 0.95), symbols=NULL, scale = FALSE, 
         xlim=NULL, ylim=NULL, CEX = 1, PCH = ".", identify = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

data

A numeric matrix or data frame of observations. Categorical variables are not allowed. If a matrix or data frame, rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables.

seeds

A vector if integer seeds for random number generation. Elements should be in the range 0:1000. Each seed should produce a different projection.

parameters

A named list giving the parameters of an MCLUST model, used to produce superimposing ellipses on the plot. The relevant components are as follows: [object Object],[object Object]

z

A matrix in which the [i,k]th entry gives the probability of observation i belonging to the kth class. Used to compute classification and uncertainty if those arguments aren't available.

classification

A numeric or character vector representing a classification of observations (rows) of data. If present argument z will be ignored.

truth

A numeric or character vector giving a known classification of each data point. If classification or z is also present, this is used for displaying classification errors.

uncertainty

A numeric vector of values in (0,1) giving the uncertainty of each data point. If present argument z will be ignored.

what

Choose from one of the following three options: "classification" (default), "errors", "uncertainty".

quantiles

A vector of length 2 giving quantiles used in plotting uncertainty. The smallest symbols correspond to the smallest quantile (lowest uncertainty), medium-sized (open) symbols to points falling between the given quantiles, and large (filled) sy

symbols

Either an integer or character vector assigning a plotting symbol to each unique class in classification. Elements in symbols correspond to classes in classification in sorted order. Default: If G

scale

A logical variable indicating whether or not the two chosen dimensions should be plotted on the same scale, and thus preserve the shape of the distribution. Default: scale=FALSE

xlim, ylim

Arguments specifying bounds for the ordinate, abscissa of the plot. This may be useful for when comparing plots.

CEX

An argument specifying the size of the plotting symbols. The default value is 1.

PCH

An argument specifying the symbol to be used when a classificatiion has not been specified for the data. The default value is a small dot ".".

identify

A logical variable indicating whether or not to add a title to the plot identifying the dimensions used.

...

Other graphics parameters.

Side Effects

A plot showing a random two-dimensional projection of the data, together with the location of the mixture components, classification, uncertainty, and/or classification errors.
