mdsplot: Plot Classical Multidimensional Scaling

Description

Plot metric MDS with categorical information.

Usage

mdsplot(x, y, method = "euclidean", dimen = c(1,2), ...)

Value

mdsplot returns an object of class "trellis".

Arguments

x

A matrix or data frame to be plotted.

y

A factor or vector giving group information of columns of x.

method

The distance measure to be used. This must be one of "euclidean", "maximum", "manhattan", "canberra", "binary" or "minkowski". Any unambiguous substring can be given. It is only for mds_plot_wrap.

dimen

A vector of index of dimentonal to be plotted. Only two dimentions are are allowed.

...

Further arguments to prcomp or lattice. See corresponding entry in xyplot for non-trivial details of lattice. For pcaplot, one argument is ep: an integer for plotting 95% ellipse. 1 and 2 for plotting overall and group ellipse, respectively. Otherwise, none. For details, see panel.elli.1.
