## **Results for the Principal Component Analysis (PCA)**
## The analysis was performed on 32 individuals, described by 11 variables
## *The results are available in the following objects:

             gradient.cols = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"),
             repel = TRUE     # Avoid text overlapping
             )

Even nicer visualisation using explor

library(explor)

And then explor(PCA_mtcars)

but this doesn’t work in rmarkdown apparrently, even when copying and pasting the rcode from the interactive plotly window

Tibbles and dataframes

The PCA packages don’t seem to work as well with tibbles (no obervation names). First let’s make a tibble from mtcars keeping the rownames

cars <- (rownames_to_column(mtcars))

This is what we want. Pretend we started with this data

view(cars)

We would need to convert this data to a df. as_data_frame would not add rownames - but column_to_rownames converts the tibble to a dataframe while converting the first column to a rowname

cars2 <- column_to_rownames(cars)
