  variable,
  ellipse.label = TRUE,
  ellipse.color = "default",
  label.size = 4,
  draw.levels = 1:nlevels(variable),
  ellipse_line = "solid"
)

Value

a plot with a concentration ellipse containing 80% of the individuals for each modality.

Arguments

object

is a soc.ca class object.

ca.plot

variable

is a factor of the same length and in the same order as the active varibles used for the soc.ca object.

ellipse.label

if TRUE the labels are included in the map.
