biplot.princomp(x, choices=1:2, scale=1, pc.biplot=FALSE, ...)
x
|
an object of class "princomp" .
|
choices
| length 2 vector specifying the components to plot. Only the default is a biplot in the strict sense. |
scale
|
The variables are scaled by lambda ^ scale and the
observations are scaled by lambda ^ (1-scale) where
lambda are the singular values as computed by
princomp . Normally 0 <= scale <= 1 , and a warning
will be issued if the specified scale is outside this range.
|
pc.biplot
|
If true, use what Gabriel (1971) refers to as a "principal component
biplot", with lambda = 1 and observations scaled up by sqrt(n) and
variables scaled down by sqrt(n). Then inner products between
variables approximate covariances and distances between observations
approximate Mahalanobis distance.

princomp(.)
.biplot
. There is
considerable confusion over the precise definitions: those of the
original paper, Gabriel (1971), are followed here. Gabriel and
Odoroff (1990) use the same definitions, but their plots actually
correspond to pc.biplot = TRUE
