I'm using 1.6.2 on a win 2k box. (I know I'm due for an upgrade.) I've used brute force to label a series of vectors, and I'm wondering if there's a better way to do this. I wanted to create a biplot of the 2nd & 3rd PCs, and did this: test <- edit(loadings(cv.prc.spr)) test.1 <- test[,1] test.2 <- test[,2] test.3 <- test[,3] x0 <- 0 y0 <- 0 i <-

Hi all I have produced a biplot for a PCA (see attached pdf) that I ran however the names of the variables which are placed at the end of the arrows overlap and are thus unreadable. Similarly some of the numbered points overlap. I was wondering if there was a way to edit the biplot to move the label names and if not what the best alternative is. Thanks Anna pca<-biodata[,3:10]

Hi, I am trying to understand how the biplot.prcomp is constructed so I can manipulate it to emphasise particular observations and reduce the number of variables shown. The prcomp model I have ran has cor=TRUE and scale=TRUE I have worked out from looking at str(prcomp.model) that... prcomp.model$x = the observations ploted in the biplot prcomp.model$rotation = the variables that form the

I'm attempting to modify how biplot draws its red vectors (among other things). This is how I've started: Biplot <- function(xx, comps = c(1, 2), cex = c(.6, .4)) { ## Purpose: Makes a biplot with princomp() object to not show arrows ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Arguments: xx is an object made using princomp() ##

Is there an option to draw concentration ellipses in biplots ? It seems really nice to summarize large number of points of each group. Cheers../ Murli

Hi everybody, Excuse me for this silly question, but after searching the help archives I'm still unable to find my way to read the source code of the "biplot" function in R. I have installed the mvbutils package, and tried: > fixr(biplot) which only gives me: function (x, ...) UseMethod("biplot") with no further details.... I'd like to read the code to see if

Hello everybody, I am afraid this might be a stupid question, but after scanning a little bit through the help archive and the internet, I didn't come up with an answer myself. I have done a principle component analysis on a data set, which yields the mean response of 14 olfactory neurons to 16 different odors. When plotting the result in a biplot, it nicely shows me the odors in

Dear List, I would like to obtain biplot containing arrows and variable labels. However, after checking the previous message and package CCA and function anacor, my attempt remains an open question. Please kindly advise code or package I might miss to achieve it. Thank you. Elaine [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, we have a large data set of water quality data and want to identify influence variables or *why* different groups of data are different (in an explorative sense). We consider to use biplots, however there are only the common PCA-Biplots available in R (biplot.princomp). We consider to use transformations (log-type, x^a, Box-Cox), but are seeking for alternatives. Are there

Hello all, I just started in on R today. I am at the point where I am trying to distinguish different groups of data (hydrochemical data) in biplot. I search and found a post about converting the sample number in biplot to a symbol like x or + "> temp <- matrix(runif(50), nrow=10) > temp.pca <- princomp(temp) > biplot(temp.pca, xlabs=c("A", "A",

Hi, In this newsletter (Vol 7, 1),the article on AMMI by Onofri and Ciriofolo presented a AMMI function. One of arguments for this function AMMI (Page 17) is biplot. There is a biplot fucntion from {stats} package. I guess they are not the same. Could the authors clarify that? Thanks, Yuandan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dears, I've been learning biplot (Gabriel, 1971) and I found the function 'biplot', inside of the package 'stats', useful but, a bit limited. So, I'm thinking to start a colaborative package to enhance this methods to other multivariate methods. In this way, I would like to start it, making public a new function (biplot.pca, still in development, but running) that make

I am doing a principle component analysis on a dataset with a lot of different variables and have constructed a biplot of the data. Unfortunately, as can be seen on the attached image, the biplot is very messy, cluttered, and hard to read. I have performed a few modifications including outlier removal from a few of the variables, which has made the plot better, however it still is too cluttered

Dear R-helpers, The vectors in my biplot are completely obscured by the ~1400 labels R is printing on my biplot. I don't really care about the labels. How can I make the biplot without the annoying labels? See attached, if that helps you see my problem. Many thanks, Mark Na

Dear list, I want to perform a biplot, using customized titels for the x and y axis. Setting xlab="" and ylab="" resulted in an error, e.g.: > data(USArrests) > biplot(princomp(USArrests),xlab="",ylab="") Error in biplot.default(t(t(scores[, choices])/lam), t(t(x$loadings[, : length of dimnames[1] not equal to array extent > How do I

Hi all, I am using the vegan package to run a prcincipal components analysis on forest structural variables (tree density, basal area, average height, regeneration density) in R. However, I could not find out how to extract factor loadings (correlations of each variable with each pca axis), as is straightforwar in princomp. Do anyone know how to do that? Moreover, do anyone knows

[was sent a wrong R-help address; manually resent by MM] Hello I'am using the 'biplot' and 'biplot.pincomp' functions of the 'mva' package for my studies. The biplot represents both the observations and the variables of a matrix of multivariate data on the same plot. The observations are represented by their numbers (the line of the data matrix), but I would need to

I have started using biplot() (with R1.3.0 on Windows) and have become very frustrated. As far as I can see, I follow the directions but either it doesn't do what I want it to do, it gives fairly arcane error messages or both. All I want to do is plot two separate data sets to see how different they are from each other with respect to two metrics that are represented by the two axes. My
