surScat: Networked coincidences from a data frame.

Description

surScat produces a network object of coincidences from a data frame converting variables into dichotomies.

Usage

surScat(data, variables=names(data), active=variables, type=c("mca", "pca"), nclusters=2,
        maxN=2000, ...)

Value

This function creates a netCoin object (or igraph) and, if stated, a folder in the computer with an HTML document named index.html which contains the produced graph. This file can be directly opened with your browser and sent to a web server to work properly.

Arguments

data

a data frame.

variables

a vector of variables included in the previous data frame.

active

a vector of variables actived in the previous data frame.

type

Factorial type: mca for qualitative active variables, pca for quantitative active variables.

nclusters

number of clusters.

maxN

Maximum number or rows.

...

Any netCoin argument.
