rlq: RLQ analysis

Description

RLQ analysis performs a double inertia analysis of two arrays (R and Q) with a link expressed by a contingency table (L). The rows of L correspond to the rows of R and the columns of L correspond to the rows of Q.

Usage

rlq(dudiR, dudiL, dudiQ, scannf = TRUE, nf = 2)
# S3 method for rlq
print(x, ...)
# S3 method for rlq
plot(x, xax = 1, yax = 2, ...)
# S3 method for rlq
summary(object, ...)
# S3 method for rlq
randtest(xtest,nrepet = 999, modeltype = 6,...)

Value

Returns a list of class 'dudi', sub-class 'rlq' containing:

li

R col = CA row: coordinates

l1

R col = CA row: normed scores

co

aR

the axis onto co-inertia axis (R)

dudiL

a duality diagram of the function dudi.coa

dudiQ

a duality diagram providing from one of the functions dudi.hillsmith, dudi.pca, ...

scannf

a logical value indicating whether the eigenvalues bar plot should be displayed

nf

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods
