ggadd_density: Density plot of a supplementary variable

Description

For a given category of a supplementary variable, adds a layer representing the density of points to the cloud of individuals, either with contours or areas.

Usage

ggadd_density(p, resmca, var, cat = levels(var)[1], axes = c(1,2),
density = "contour", col.contour = "darkred", pal.area = "viridis",
alpha.area = 0.2, ellipse = FALSE)

Value

a ggplot2 object

Arguments

p

ggplot2 object with the cloud of variables

resmca

object of class MCA, speMCA, csMCA, stMCA or multiMCA

var

factor or numerical vector. The supplementary variable to be plotted.

cat

character string. The category of var to plot (by default, the first level of var is plotted). Only used if var is a factor.

axes

numeric vector of length 2, specifying the components (axes) to plot. Default is c(1,2).

density

If "contour" (default), density is plotted with contours. If "area", density is plotted with areas.

col.contour

character string. The color of the contours.

pal.area

character string. The name of a viridis palette for areas.

alpha.area

numeric. Transparency of the areas. Default is 0.2.

ellipse

logical. If TRUE, a concentration ellipse is added.
