[BioC] Question regarding COA plot generated by made4 package

[aedin culhane]

Dear Barbara and Valerie
Thanks for forward this to me Valerie, I had missed it in my Bioc daily 
digest ;-)

The d indicates the scale of the grid squares on the plot

For example

# Load some test data and perform a correspondence analysis
require(made4)
data(khan)
khan.coa<-ord(khan$train, classvec=khan$train.classes, type="coa", 
ord.nf=5)
plotgenes(khan.coa)

#This is the same as
plotgenes(khan.coa$ord$li, axis1=1,axis2=2)

#Now lets look at this in more detail.  The correspondence analysis 
results are in $ord, and
# the coordinates for the axis (eigenvectors/principal components) are 
in $ord$li and $ord$co
# where li are the lines (rows) and co are the columns. So if we want to 
examine the genes in more detail, these are in the rows
# so we look at $ord$li

# Note if we scale the data, d changes in the plot to reflect the scale

par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plotgenes(khan.coa$ord$li, axis1=1,axis2=2)
plotgenes(khan.coa$ord$li*10, axis1=1,axis2=2)
plotgenes(khan.coa$ord$li*100, axis1=1,axis2=2)
plotgenes(khan.coa$ord$li/100, axis1=1,axis2=2)

Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions
Regards
Aedin
