biplotEZ

The goal of biplotEZ is to provide users an EZ-to-use platform for visually representing their data with biplots. Currently, this package includes principal component analysis (PCA) and canonical variate analysis (CVA) biplots. This is accompanied by various formatting options for the samples and axes. Alpha-bags and concentration ellipses are included for visual enhancements and interpretation.

Installation

You can install the development version of biplotEZ like this:

library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("MuViSU/biplotEZ")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to construct a PCA biplot:

library(biplotEZ)
#> 
#> Attaching package: 'biplotEZ'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:stats':
#> 
#>     biplot
biplot (iris[,1:4], Title="Test PCA biplot") |> PCA() |> plot()

While the PCA biplot provides a visual representation of the overall data set, optimally representing the variance in 1, 2 or 3 dimensions, the CVA biplot aims to optimally separate specified groups in the data. This is a basic example which shows you how to construct a CVA biplot:

biplot (iris[,1:4], Title="Test CVA biplot") |> CVA(classes=iris[,5]) |> plot()

An over-the-top example of changing all the formatting and adding all the bells and whistles:

biplot (iris[,1:4], group.aes=iris[,5]) |> PCA() |> 
  samples(col="gold", pch=15) |>
  axes(which=2:3, col="cyan", label.cex=1.2, tick.col="blue", 
                                             tick.label.col="purple") |>
  alpha.bags (alpha=c(0.5,0.75,0.95), which=3, col="red", lty=1:3, lwd=3) |>
  ellipses(alpha=0.9, which=1:2, col=c("green","olivedrab")) |>
  legend.type(bags = TRUE, ellipses=TRUE) |>
  plot()
#> Computing 0.5 -bag for virginica 
#> Computing 0.75 -bag for virginica 
#> Computing 0.95 -bag for virginica 
#> Computing 2.15 -ellipse for setosa 
#> Computing 2.15 -ellipse for versicolor

CA biplot

The default CA biplots represents row principal coordinates with a call such as:

biplot(HairEyeColor[,,2], center = FALSE) |> CA() |> plot()

To change to row standard coordinates use a call such as:

biplot(HairEyeColor[,,2], center = FALSE) |> 
  CA(variant = "Stand") |> samples(col=c("magenta","purple"), pch=c(15,18)) |> plot()

Regression biplot

With the function regress linear regression biplot axes can be fitted to a biplot

out <- biplot(iris) |> PCO(dist.func = sqrtManhattan) 
biplot(iris) |> regress(out$Z) |> plot()
