[R] adding rows to table

2008-09-17 Thread Galanidis Alexandros
Greetings everyone,

I'm trying to add a specific table or a specific number of rows (e.g.44) to a 
table with no success.

This is my basic table
> head(dataA)
  yearplot spp   prop.BDCA1DCA2DCA3DCA4
1 20001   a1  0.031079  -0.0776 -0.0009  0.0259 -0.0457
2 20001   a2  0.968921  -0.0448  0.1479 -0.1343  0.1670
3 20002   a1  0.029218  -0.0776 -0.0009  0.0259 -0.0457
4 20002   a4  0.021678  -0.3052 -0.0275 -0.0330 -0.0516
5 20002   a5  0.088596   0.0357 -0.0382  0.0171 -0.0471
6 20002   a6  0.065033   0.1219 -0.0588 -0.1119 -0.1795

I want, every time that the plot number changes, to add a specific table 
(data2) or a specific number of rows underneath.

I've tried several variations of this with no result

for (i in 2:nrow(dataA))
{

ifelse(dataA$plot[i]!=dataA$plot[i-1],tab=data.frame(res[1:i,1:3]),a=1+1)


rbind(as.matrix(dataA[1:i,]),as.matrix(dataB[,])),a=1+1) 


}


many thanks

[R] PCA and categorical data

2009-03-06 Thread Galanidis Alexandros
Hi all,

I' m trying to figure out if it is appropriate to do a PCA having only 
categorical data (not ordinal). I have only find the following quote:

One method to find such relationships is to select appropriate variables and
to view the data using a method like Principle Components Analysis (PCA) [4].
This approach gives us a clear picture of the data using KL-plot of the PCA.
However, the method is not settled for the data including categorical data.
[http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA038807/personal/covEigGiniRep17.pdf]

but I'm still not sure if it WRONG to do so.

Any opinion or reference would be very helpful

thanks
