Hello everybody, I Would like to get some help to plot together, Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and clusters. I am handling environmental data from 25 locations spread across 5 different ecosystems.When grouped into 5 clusters, locations from different ecosystems are arranged in the same group.
So, I want to plot together PCA and Clusters, in a such way that locations belonging to the same ecosystem are displayed with the same COLORS, and locations grouped in the same cluster, have the same SHAPE. For example: I have 1 site from Savanna and 1 site from Serengeti that are in the same cluster, Thus I would like to plot both with different colors blue and green, respectively due different ecosystem classification and with the same shape (triangle) because they are in the same group. So, I would have a cluster with 2 triangles one green and another blue. How to make this combination? There is command lines below that I'm using to make my combination, as presented by Bocard in Numerical Ecology Analysis with R chapter 4 or 5. with this code, it is possible to join PCA and Cluster however, without differentiating the colors of each ecosystem. #PCA mydata.pca<-rda(mydata) #Cluster mydata.w <- hclust(dist(Sqchord.mydata), "ward") plot(mydata.w, hang=-1) rect.hclust(mydata.w, 5) # Cut the dendrogram to yield 5 groups gr <- cutree(mydata.w, k=5) grl <- levels(factor(gr)) # Get the site scores, scaling 1 sit.sc1 <- scores(mydata.pca, display="w", scaling=3) # Plot the sites with cluster symbols and colours (scaling 3) p <- plot(mydata.pca, display="wa", scaling=3, type="n", main="Mydata PCA and clusters") abline(v=0, lty="dotted") abline(h=0, lty="dotted") for (i in 1:length(grl)) { points(sit.sc1[gr==i,], pch=(14+i), cex=2.5, col=i+1)} text(sit.sc1, row.names(Pre_euro_veg.1.all), cex=0.7, pos=3) # Add legend interactively legend(locator(1), paste("Cluster", c(1:length(grl))), pch=14+c(1:length(grl)), col=1+c(1:length(grl)), pt.cex=2) Thank you for any help.
