Plot Function for RRPP

Description

Function generates a principal component plot for trajectories

Usage

## S3 method for class 'trajectory.analysis'
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

x

plot object (from trajectory.analysis)

...

other arguments passed to plot (helpful to employ different colors or symbols for different groups). See plot.default and par

Details

The function calculates and plots principal components of fitted values from lm.rrpp that are passed onto trajectory.analysis, and projects data onto them. This function is a set.up, and add.trajectories is needed to add trajectories to the plot. By having two stages of control, the plotting functions are more flexible. This function also returns plotting information that can be valuable for making individualized plots, if add.trajectories is not preferred.

Value

If an object is assigned, it will return:

pca

Principal component analysis performed using prcomp.

pc.points

Principal component scores for all data.

trajectory.analysis

Trajectory analysis passed on.

trajectories

pca Observed trajectories projected onto principal components.
