Visualizing multivariate data using biplot

In order to find out how data and variables are mapped in regard to the principal component, you can use biplot, which plots data and the projections of original features on to the first two components. In this recipe, we will demonstrate how to use biplot to plot both variables and data on the same figure.

Getting ready

Ensure that you have completed the previous recipe by generating a principal component object and save it in the variable, swiss.pca.

How to do it...

Perform the following steps to create a biplot:

You can create a scatter plot using component 1 and 2:

>  plot(swiss.pca$x[,1], swiss.pca$x[,2], xlim=c(-4,4))
> text(swiss.pca$x[,1], swiss.pca$x[,2], rownames(swiss.pca$x), cex=0.7, pos=4, col="red") ...
