If I perform PCA on the 'eurodist' data, should I get an accurate geographic layout of the cities with biplot? (barring inversions, i.e. their is no way to define north.. but you get the idea...) I have a complex distance matrix, and I am thinking about how to cluster it and how to visualize the quality of the resulting clusters. If I could 'see' the clusters in space I could

Hi is there a way to plot only the loadings in a biplot (with the nice arrows), and to skip the scores? thanks christoph

Hi everyone, I am doing PCA with labdsv package. I was trying to create a biplot graphs in order to observe arrows related to my variables. However when I run the script for this graph, the console just keep saying: *Error in nrow(y) : element 1 is empty; the part of the args list of 'dim' being evaluated was: (x)* could please someone tell me what this means? what i am doing

Hi R-community, I am doing a PCA and I need plots for different combinations of axes (e.g., PC1 vs PC3, and PC2 vs PC3) with the arrows indicating the loadings of each variables. What I need is exactly what I get using biplot (pca.object) but for other axes. I have plotted PC2 and 3 using the scores of the cases, but I don't get the arrows proportional to the loadings of each variables on

Hi- I'm trying to make my PCA (princomp) colored. In my csv excel sheet, I have the first column numbered according to the groupings I want to assign to the PCA. I've played around with trying to set this first column as the color vector, but haven't had any luck. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hillary [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

I have a decent sized matrix (36 x 11,000) that I have preformed a PCA on with prcomp(), but due to the large number of variables I can't plot the result with biplot(). How else can I plot the PCA output? I tried posting this before, but got no responses so I'm trying again. Surely this is a common problem, but I can't find a solution with google? The University of Dundee is a

Hi, I have a problem with making PCA plots that are readable. I would like to set different sympols instead of the numbers of my samples or their names, that I get plotted (xlabs). How is this possible? With points, i don´t seem to get the right data plotted onto the PCA plot, as I do not quite understand from where it is taken. I dont know how to plot the correct columns of the prcomp

x=rmvnorm(2000, rep(0, 6), diag(c(5, rep(1,5)))) x=scale(x, center=T, scale=F) pc <- princomp(x) biplot(pc) There are a bunch of red arrows plotted, what do they mean? I knew that the first arrow labelled with "Var1" should be pointing the most varying direction of the data-set (if we think them as 2000 data points, each being a vector of size 6). I also read from

Hi, I am a beginner with R. I would like to get a loading plot of PC 3 vs PC 1. For PC 1 vs PC 2 I use library(pls) loadingplot(pca.result, comps = 1:2, scatter = TRUE, labels="names") if I try loadingplot(pca.result, comps = 1:3, scatter = TRUE, labels="names") I get the loading plots of PC 1 vs PC 2, PC 1 vs PC 3 and PC 2 vs PC 3. What do I have to do to get just a

Hi, I am doing PCA on several columns of data in a data.frame. I am interested in particular rows of data which may have a particular combination of 'types' of column values (without any pre-conception of what they may be). I do the following... # My data table. allDat <- read.table("big_select_thresh_5", header=1) # Where some rows look like this... # PDB SUNID1

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, I want to include a vector representing the sites - environmental data correlation in a PCA. I currently use prcomp (no scaling) to perform the PCA, and envfit to retrieve the coordinates of the environmental data vector. However, the vector length is different from the one obtained in CAnoco when performing a species - environmental biplot (scaling -2). How can I scale the vector in order to

Hello, I am trying to complete a PCA on a set of standardized ring widths from 8 different sites (T10, T9, T8, T7, T6, T5, T3, and T2). The following is a small portion of my data: T10 T9 T8 T7 T6 T5 T3 T2 1.33738 0.92669 0.91146 0.98922 0.9308 0.88201 0.92287 0.91775 0.82181 1.05319 0.92908 0.97971 0.95165 0.98029 1.14048 0.77803 0.88294 0.96413 0.90893 0.87957 0.9961 0.74926 0.71394 0.70877

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 was trying as well as looking for an answer without success (a bit strange since it should be an easy problem) and therefore I will appreciate you help: My simple script is: # Loadings data of 5 columns and 100 rows of data data1<-read.csv("C:/?/MyPCA.csv") pairs(data1[,1:4]) pca1 <- princomp(data1[,1:4], score=TRUE, cor=TRUE) biplot(pca1) The biplot present the data

hi, My code: data<-matrix(data=c(0.425,0.5,0.75,0.125,0.25,0.475,0.375,0.25,0.625,0.5,0.1,0.125,0,0.25,0.25),nrow=3,ncol=5,byrow=TRUE, dimnames=list(c("Good","Medium","Bad"),c("Content","Logistic","Trainer","Supply","User contribution"))) plot(corresp(data,nf=2),xlim=c(-1,1),ylim=c(-1,1)); The plot is

Hi, Is it possible to recreate "smoothed" data sets in R, by performing a PCA and then reconstructing a data set from say the first 2/3 EOFs? I've had a look in the help pages and don't seem to find anything relevant.

I've tried a few things both with prcomp(), and rda() and its friends in vegan (including biplot.rda and ordiplot), but can't find a solution. I'd like to associate subsets of the points in a resulting biplot ("sites" in the rda object) with different plotting colors/text styles to emphasize certain sets of points. I can't figure out how to keep the arrows (for

[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
