The ade4 Package: Implementing the Duality Diagram for Ecologists
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 and discuss its implementation in ade4. Classes and main functions are presented. An example is given to illustrate the ade4 philosophy.

Interactive Multivariate Data Analysis in R with the ade4 and ade4TkGUI Packages
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 complemen...
متن کاملNear Pole Polar Diagram of Points and its Duality with Applications
In this paper we propose a new approach to plane partitioning with similar features to those of Polar Diagram, but we assume that the pole is close to the sites. The result is a new tessellation of the plane in regions called Near Pole Polar Diagram NPPD. Here we define the (NPPD) of points, the dual and the Contracted dual of it, present an optimal algorithms to draw them and discuss the appli...

SUMMARY MADE4, microarray ade4, is a software package that facilitates multivariate analysis of microarray gene-expression data. MADE4 accepts a wide variety of gene-expression data formats. MADE4 takes advantage of the extensive multivariate statistical and graphical functions in the R package ade4, extending these for application to microarray data. In addition, MADE4 provides new graphical a...
متن کاملThe ade 4 package - I : One - table methods
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...
