testdim<br />

Function to perform a test of dimensionality<br />

Description<br />

This functions allow to test for the number of axes in multivariate analysis. <strong>The</strong> procedure is only<br />

implemented for principal component analysis on correlation matrix. <strong>The</strong> procedure is based on the<br />

computation of the RV coefficient.<br />

Usage<br />

testdim(dudi, ...)<br />

## S3 method for class 'pca':<br />

testdim(dudi, nrepet = 99, nbax = dudi$rank, alpha = 0.05, ...)<br />

Arguments<br />

dudi<br />

a duality diagram (an object of class dudi)<br />

nrepet the number of repetitions for the permutation procedure<br />

nbax<br />

the number of axes to be tested, by default all axes<br />

alpha the significance level<br />

... other arguments<br />

Value<br />

An object of the class krandtest. It contains also:<br />

nb<br />

nb.cor<br />

<strong>The</strong> estimated number of axes to keep<br />

<strong>The</strong> number of axes to keep estimated using a sequential Bonferroni procedure<br />
