\name{biplot.pcaRes} \title{Plot a overlaid scores and loadings plot} \usage{biplot.pcaRes(x, choices=1:2, scale=1, pc.biplot=FALSE, ...)} \description{Visualize two-components simultaneously} \details{This is a method for the generic function 'biplot'. There is considerable confusion over the precise definitions: those of the original paper, Gabriel (1971), are followed here. Gabriel and Odoroff (1990) use the same definitions, but their plots actually correspond to \code{pc.biplot = TRUE}.} \value{a plot is produced on the current graphics device.} \alias{biplot.pcaRes} \seealso{\code{prcomp}, \code{pca}, \code{princomp}} \author{Kevin Wright, Adapted from \code{biplot.prcomp}} \keyword{multivariate} \arguments{\item{x}{a pcaRes object} \item{choices}{which two pcs to plot} \item{scale}{The variables are scaled by \eqn{\lambda^{scale}}{lambda^scale} and the observations are scaled by \eqn{\lambda^{scale}}{lambda ^ (1-scale)} where \code{lambda} are the singular values as computed by \code{princomp}. Normally \eqn{0\le{}scale\le{}1}{0 <= scale <= 1}, and a warning will be issued if the specified 'scale' is outside this range.} \item{pc.biplot}{If true, use what Gabriel (1971) refers to as a "principal component biplot", with \eqn{\lambda=1}{lambda = 1} and observations scaled up by sqrt(n) and variables scaled down by sqrt(n). Then the inner products between variables approximate covariances and distances between observations approximate Mahalanobis distance.} \item{...}{optional arguments to be passed to \code{biplot.default}.}} \examples{data(iris) pcIr <- pca(iris[,1:4]) biplot(pcIr)}
