clPairs {mclust}R Documentation

Pairwise Scatter Plots showing Classification

Description

Creates a scatter plot for each pair of variables in given data. Observations in different classes are represented by different symbols.

Usage

clPairs(data, classification, symbols, labels=dimnames(data)[[2]], 
        CEX=1, col, ...)

Arguments

data A numeric vector, matrix, or data frame of observations. Categorical variables are not allowed. If a matrix or data frame, rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables.
classification A numeric or character vector representing a classification of observations (rows) of data.
symbols Either an integer or character vector assigning a plotting symbol to each unique class classification. Elements in symbols correspond to classes in order of appearance in the sequence of observations (the order used by the function unique). Default: If G is the number of groups in the classification, the first G symbols in .Mclust\$symbols, otherwise if G is less than 27 then the first G capital letters in the Roman alphabet. If no classification argument is given the default symbol is ".".
labels A vector of character strings for labeling the variables. The default is to use the column dimension names of data.
CEX An argument specifying the size of the plotting symbols. The default value is 1.
col Color vector to use. Default is one color per class. Splus default: all black.
... Additional arguments to be passed to the graphics device.

Side Effects

Scatter plots for each combination of variables in data are created on the current graphics device. Observations of different classifications are labeled with different symbols.
