eigenmap-class: Class and Methods for Spatial Eigenvector Maps

Description

Create and handle spatial eigenvector maps of a set of locations a space with an arbitrary number of dimensions.

Usage

# S3 method for eigenmap
print(x, ...)

# S3 method for eigenmap plot(x, ...)

Format

`eigenmap-class` objects contain:

coordinates

A matrix of coordinates.

truncate

The interval within which pairs of sites are considered as neighbours.

D

A distance matrix.

weighting

The weighting function that had been used.

wpar

The weighting function parameter that had been used.

lambda

A vector of the eigenvalues obtain from the computation of the eigenvector map.

U

A matrix of the eigenvectors defining the eigenvector map.

Arguments

x

an `eigenmap-class` object.

...

Further parameters to be passed to other functions or methods (currently ignored).

Functions

  • print(eigenmap): Print method for eigenmap-class objects

  • plot(eigenmap): Plot method for eigenmap-class objects

Details

The `print` method provides the number of the number of orthonormal variables (i.e. basis functions), the number of observations these functions are spanning, and their associated eigenvalues.

The `plot` method provides a plot of the eigenvalues and offers the possibility to plot the values of variables for 1- or 2-dimensional sets of coordinates. plot.eigenmap opens the default graphical device driver, i.e., X11, windows, or quartz and recurses through variable with a left mouse click on the graphical window. A right mouse click interrupts recursing on X11 and windows (Mac OS X users should hit Esc on the quartz graphical device driver (Mac OS X users).
