calculateLoadingsContribution {psichomics} | R Documentation

## Calculate the contribution of PCA loadings to the selected principal components

### Description

Total contribution of a variable is calculated as per: ((Cx \* Ex) + (Cy \* Ey))/(Ex + Ey), where Cx and Cy are the contributions of a variable to principal components (x and y) and Ex and Ey are the eigenvalues of principal components (x and y)

### Usage

    calculateLoadingsContribution(pca, pcX = 1, pcY = 2)

### Arguments

`pca` | `prcomp` object
`pcX` | Character: name of the X axis of interest from the PCA
`pcY` | Character: name of the Y axis of interest from the PCA

### Value

Data frame containing the correlation between variables and selected principal components and the contribution of variables to the selected principal components (both individual and total contribution)
