Interactive plots in PCA with Factoshiny

16.02.2017

A beautiful graph tells more than a lenghtly speach!! So it is crucial to improve the graphs obtained by Principal Component Analysis or (Multiple) Correspondence Analysis. The package Factoshiny allows us to easily improve these graphs interactively. The package Factoshiny makes interacting with R and FactoMineR simpler, thus facilitating sel...

PCA – hierarchical tree – partition: Why do we need to choose for visualizing data?

20.02.2017

Principal component methods such as PCA (principal component analysis) or MCA (multiple correspondence analysis) can be used as a pre-processing step before clustering. But principal component methods give also a framework to visualize data. Thus, the clustering methods can be represented onto the map provided by the principal component method....
