xyplotPCArchetypes {Anthropometry} R Documentation

## PC scores for archetypes

### Description

This function is a small modification of the generic xyplot function of the archetypes R package. It shows the scores for the principal components of all individuals jointly with the scores for the computed archetypes. This function is used to obtain the Figure 4 of the subsection 3.3 of Epifanio et al. (2013).

### Value

A device with the desired plot.

### Note

There are no usage and arguments sections in this help file because they are the same than those of the page 25 of the reference manual of archetypes.

### Examples

#First,the USAF 1967 database is read and preprocessed (Zehner et al. (1993)).
#Variable selection:
variabl_sel <- c(48, 40, 39, 33, 34, 36)
#Changing to inches:
USAFSurvey_inch <- USAFSurvey[1:25, variabl_sel] / (10 * 2.54)

#Data preprocessing:
USAFSurvey_preproc <- preprocessing(USAFSurvey_inch, TRUE, 0.95, TRUE)

#Procedure and results shown in section 2.2.2 and section 3.1:
#For reproducing results, seed for randomness:
#suppressWarnings(RNGversion("3.5.0"))
#set.seed(2010)
res <- archetypesBoundary(USAFSurvey_preproc$data, 15, FALSE, 3) #To understand the warning messages, see the vignette of the #archetypes package. a3 <- archetypes::bestModel(res[[3]]) a7 <- archetypes::bestModel(res[[7]]) pznueva <- prcomp(USAFSurvey_preproc$data, scale = TRUE, retx = TRUE)
#PCA scores for 3 archetypes:
p3 <- predict(pznueva,archetypes::parameters(a3))
#PCA scores for 7 archetypes:
p7 <- predict(pznueva,archetypes::parameters(a7))
#Representing the scores:
#Figure 4 (a):
xyplotPCArchetypes(p3[,1:2], pznueva$x[,1:2], data.col = gray(0.7), atypes.col = 1, atypes.pch = 15) #Figure 4 (b): xyplotPCArchetypes(p7[,1:2], pznueva$x[,1:2], data.col = gray(0.7),
atypes.col = 1, atypes.pch = 15)
