Hi, May be this helps: require(MASS) require(ggplot2) iris.lda<-lda(Species ~ Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width + Petal.Length + Petal.Width, data = iris) datPred<-data.frame(Species=predict(iris.lda)$class,predict(iris.lda)$x)
library(ellipse) dat_ell <- data.frame() for(g in levels(datPred$Species)){ dat_ell <- rbind(dat_ell, cbind(as.data.frame(with(datPred[datPred$Species==g,], ellipse(cor(LD1, LD2), scale=c(sd(LD1),sd(LD2)), centre=c(mean(LD1),mean(LD2))))),Species=g)) } ggplot(datPred, aes(x=LD1, y=LD2, col=Species) ) + geom_point( size = 4, aes(color = Species))+theme_bw()+geom_path(data=dat_ell,aes(x=x,y=y,color=Species),size=1,linetype=2) A.K. Hi, I wish to add confidence ellipse on my LDA result of the iris data set. Therefore: Is there statistical logic to do that as I only wish it to make the species separation more visable? How can I add it to the script below (ggplot): require(MASS) require(ggplot2) iris.lda<-lda(Species ~ Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width + Petal.Length + Petal.Width, data = iris) LD1<-predict(iris.lda)$x[,1] LD2<-predict(iris.lda)$x[,2] ggplot(iris, aes(x=LD1, y=LD2, col=iris$Species) ) + geom_point( size = 4, aes(color = iris$Species))+theme_bw() Could someone please help me. Thank you very much. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
