\title{ Utility Functions for nScree Class Objects}
\description{
Utility functions for \code{structureSim} class objects. Note that with the
\code{plot.structureSim} a dotted black vertical line shows the median number of
factors retained by all the different indices.
}
\usage{
\method{boxplot}{structureSim} (x, nFactors=NULL, eigenSelect=NULL,
vLine="green", xlab="Factors",
ylab="Eigenvalues", main="Eigen Box Plot", ...)
\method{is}{structureSim} (object)
\method{plot}{structureSim} (x, nFactors=NULL, index=NULL,
main="Index Acuracy Plot", ...)
\method{print}{structureSim} (x, index=NULL, ...)
\method{summary}{structureSim} (object, index=c(1:15), eigenSelect=NULL, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{eigenSelect}{ numeric: vector of the index of the selected eigenvalues}
\item{index}{ numeric: vector of the index of the selected indices}
\item{main}{ character: main title}
\item{nFactors}{ numeric: if known, number of factors}
\item{object}{ structureSim: an object of the class \code{structureSim}}
\item{vLine}{ character: color of the vertical indicator line of the
initial number of factors in the eigen boxplot}
\item{x}{ structureSim: an object of the class \code{structureSim}}
\item{xlab}{ character: x axis label}
\item{ylab}{ character: y axis label}
\item{...}{ variable: additionnal parameters to give to the
\code{boxplot}, \code{plot}, \code{print} and \code{summary
functions.} }
}
\value{
Generic functions for the \code{structureSim} class:
\item{boxplot.structureSim }{ graphic: plots an eigen boxplot }
\item{is.structureSim}{ logical: is the object of the class \code{structureSim}? }
\item{plot.structureSim }{ graphic: plots an index acuracy plot}
\item{print.structureSim }{ numeric: data.frame of statistics about the number
of components/factors to retain according to different indices
following a \code{structureSim} simulation}
\item{summary.structureSim }{ list: two data.frame, the first with the details
of the simulated eigenvalues, the second with the
details of the simulated indices}

## INITIALISATION
library(xtable)
library(nFactors)
nFactors <- 3
unique <- 0.2
loadings <- 0.5
nsubjects <- 180
repsim <- 10
var <- 36
pmjc <- 12
reppar <- 10
zwick <- generateStructure(var=var, mjc=nFactors, pmjc=pmjc,
loadings=loadings,
unique=unique)
## SIMULATIONS
mzwick <- structureSim(fload=as.matrix(zwick), reppar=reppar,
repsim=repsim, details=TRUE,
N=nsubjects, quantile=0.5)
## TEST OF structureSim METHODS
is(mzwick)
summary(mzwick, index=1:5, eigenSelect=1:10, digits=3)
print(mzwick, index=1:10)
plot(x=mzwick, index=c(1:10), cex.axis=0.7, col="red")
