GraphDistatisCompromise function

Plot maps of the factor scores of the observations for a DISTATIS

analysis

Plot maps of the factor scores of the observations for a distatis

analysis. GraphDistatis gives a map of the factor scores for the observations. The labels of the observations are plotted by defaults but can be omitted (see the nude=TRUE option).

GraphDistatisCompromise(
  FS,
  axis1 = 1,
  axis2 = 2,
  constraints = NULL,
  item.colors = NULL,
  ZeTitle = "Distatis-Compromise",
  nude = FALSE,
  Ctr = NULL
)

Arguments

• FS: The factor scores of the observations ($res4Splus$Ffrom distatis).
• axis1: The dimension for the horizontal axis of the plots.
• axis2: The dimension for the vertical axis of the plots.
• constraints: constraints for the axes
• item.colors: A $I*1$ matrix (with $I$ = # observations) of color names for the observations. If NULL (default), prettyGraphs chooses.
• ZeTitle: General title for the plots.
• nude: (default FALSE) When nude is TRUE the labels for the observations are not plotted (useful when editing the graphs for publication).
• Ctr: Contributions of each observation. If NULL (default), these are computed from FS

Returns

• constraints: A set of plot constraints that are returned.

• item.colors: A set of colors for the observations are returned.

Details

Note that, in the current version, the graphs are plotted as R-plots and are not passed back by the routine. So the graphs need to be saved "by hand" from the R graphic windows. We plan to improve this in a future version.

Examples

# 1. Load the DistAlgo data set (available from the DistatisR package)
data(DistAlgo)
# DistAlgo is a 6*6*4 Array (face*face*Algorithm)
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 2. Call the DISTATIS routine with the array of distance (DistAlgo) as parameter
DistatisAlgo <- distatis(DistAlgo)
# 3. Plot the compromise map with the labels for the first 2 dimensions
# DistatisAlgo$res4Splus$F are the factors scores for the 6 observations (i.e., faces)
# DistatisAlgo$res4Splus$PartialF are the partial factors scores
        ##(i.e., one set of factor scores per algorithm)
 GraphDistatisCompromise(DistatisAlgo$res4Splus$F)
