Hi all,
I wonder what the difference is between the functions prcomp and the PCA plotting method used in example 3 from the fastICA package. They give totally different plots. The reason for asking is that I've earlier used prcomp, but now I should do an ICA, and I guess I cannot compare the PCA plot from prcomp with the ICA plot if the two PCA plots looks different? Does anyone knows anything about this? Maybe there's a different approach that's better? if(require(MASS)) { x <- mvrnorm(n = 1000, mu = c(0, 0), Sigma = matrix(c(10, 3, 3, 1), 2, 2)) x1 <- mvrnorm(n = 1000, mu = c(-1, 2), Sigma = matrix(c(10, 3, 3, 1), 2, 2)) X <- rbind(x, x1) a <- fastICA(X, 2, alg.typ = "deflation", fun = "logcosh", alpha = 1, method = "R", row.norm = FALSE, maxit = 200, tol = 0.0001, verbose = TRUE) par(mfrow = c(1, 3)) plot(a$X, main = "Pre-processed data") plot(a$X%*%a$K, main = "PCA components") plot(a$S, main = "ICA components") } PC=prcomp (X, center=T, scale=T) hcl=hclust(dist(df)) plot(PC$x[,1],PC$x[,2], main="PCA components (prcomp)") Best regards, Joel _________________________________________________________________ Nya Windows 7 gör allt lite enklare.
