skbio.stats.ordination.pcoa_biplot#

skbio.stats.ordination.pcoa_biplot(ordination, y)[source]#

Compute the projection of descriptors into a PCoA matrix.

This implementation is as described in Chapter 9 of Legendre & Legendre, Numerical Ecology 3rd edition.

Parameters:
ordination: OrdinationResults

The computed principal coordinates analysis of dimensions (n, c) where the matrix y will be projected onto.

y: DataFrame

Samples by features table of dimensions (n, m). These can be environmental features or abundance counts. This table should be normalized in cases of dimensionally heterogenous physical variables.

Returns:
OrdinationResults

The modified input object that includes projected features onto the ordination space in the features attribute.
