epPCA function

epPCA: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) via ExPosition.

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) via ExPosition.

epPCA(DATA, scale = TRUE, center = TRUE, DESIGN = NULL, make_design_nominal = TRUE, 
        graphs = TRUE, k = 0)

Arguments

• DATA: original data to perform a PCA on.
• scale: a boolean, vector, or string. See expo.scale for details.
• center: a boolean, vector, or string. See expo.scale for details.
• DESIGN: a design matrix to indicate if rows belong to groups.
• make_design_nominal: a boolean. If TRUE (default), DESIGN is a vector that indicates groups (and will be dummy-coded). If FALSE, DESIGN is a dummy-coded matrix.
• graphs: a boolean. If TRUE (default), graphs and plots are provided (via epGraphs)
• k: number of components to return.

Details

epPCA performs principal components analysis on a data matrix.

Returns

See corePCA for details on what is returned.
