Principal Components Analysis

Source: R/AllGenerics.R, R/pca.R
pca.Rd

Computes a principal components analysis based on the singular value decomposition.

Usage

pca(object, ...)

# S4 method for class 'data.frame'
pca(
  object,
  center = TRUE,
  scale = TRUE,
  rank = NULL,
  sup_row = NULL,
  sup_col = NULL,
  sup_quali = NULL,
  weight_row = NULL,
  weight_col = NULL
)

# S4 method for class 'matrix'
pca(
  object,
  center = TRUE,
  scale = TRUE,
  rank = NULL,
  sup_row = NULL,
  sup_col = NULL,
  weight_row = NULL,
  weight_col = NULL
)

Arguments

object

A \(m \times p\) numeric matrix or a data.frame.

...

Currently not used.

center

A logical scalar: should the variables be shifted to be zero centered?

scale

A logical scalar: should the variables be scaled to unit variance?

rank

An integer value specifying the maximal number of components to be kept in the results. If NULL (the default), \(p - 1\) components will be returned.

sup_row

A vector specifying the indices of the supplementary rows.

sup_col

A vector specifying the indices of the supplementary columns.

sup_quali

A vector specifying the indices of the supplementary qualitative columns.

weight_row

A numeric vector specifying the active row (individual) weights. If NULL (the default), uniform weights are used. Row weights are internally normalized to sum 1

weight_col

A numeric vector specifying the active column (variable) weights. If NULL (the default), uniform weights (1) are used.

Value

A PCA object.
