Details
Biplots represent the rows and columns of a data matrix in reduced dimensions. Usually rows represent individuals, objects or samples and columns are variables measured on them. The most classical versions can be thought as visualizations associated to Principal Components Analysis (PCA) or Factor Analysis (FA) obtained from a Singular Value Decomposition or a related method. From another point of view, Classical Biplots could be obtained from regressions and calibrations that are essentially an alternated least squares algorithm equivalent to an EM-algorithm when data are normal.
Returns
An object of class ContinuousBiplot with the following components:
Title: A general title
Non_Scaled_Data: Original Data Matrix
Means: Means of the original Variables
Medians: Medians of the original Variables
Deviations: Standard Deviations of the original Variables
Structure: Correlations of the Principal Components and the Variables
RowCoordinates: Coordinates for the rows, including the supplementary
ColCoordinates: Coordinates for the columns, including the supplementary
RowContributions: Contributions for the rows, including the supplementary
ColContributions: Contributions for the columns, including the supplementary
Scale_Factor: Scale factor for the traditional plot with points and arrows. The row coordinates are multiplied and the column coordinates divided by that scale factor. The look of the plot is better without changing the inner product. For the HJ-Biplot the scale factor is 1.
