Interactive Multivariate Data Analysis in R with the ade4 and ade4TkGUI Packages
نویسندگان
چکیده
ade4 is a multivariate data analysis package for the R statistical environment, and ade4TkGUI is a Tcl/Tk graphical user interface for the most essential methods of ade4. Both packages are available on CRAN. An overview of ade4TkGUI is presented, and the pros and cons of this approach are discussed. We conclude that command line interfaces (CLI) and graphical user interfaces (GUI) are complementary. ade4TkGUI can be valuable for biologists and particularly for ecologists who are often occasional users of R. It can spare them having to acquire an in-depth knowledge of R, and it can help first time users in a first approach.

Multiple Co-inertia Analysis of Multiple OMICS Data using omicade4
Multivariate approaches have been applied successfully in the analysis of high throughput ”omics”data. Principal component analysis (PCA) has been shown to be useful in exploratory analysis of linear trends in biological data [1]. Culhane and colleagues employed a two table coupling method (co-inertia analysis, CIA) to examine covariant gene expression patterns between microarray datasets from ...

This paper is a short summary of the main classes defined in the ade4 package for one table analysis methods (e.g., principal component analysis). Other papers will detail the classes defined in ade4 for twotables coupling methods (such as canonical correspondence analysis, redundancy analysis, and coinertia analysis), for methods dealing with K-tables analysis (i.e., three-ways tables), and fo...
متن کاملThe ade4 Package: Implementing the Duality Diagram for Ecologists
Multivariate analyses are well known and widely used to identify and understand structures of ecological communities. The ade4 package for the R statistical environment proposes a great number of multivariate methods. Its implementation follows the tradition of the French school of ”Analyse des Données” and is based on the use of the duality diagram. We present the theory of the duality diagram...
