## Tidying methods for principal components analysis via `prcomp`

### Description

These tidiers operate on the results of a principal components analysis computed using `prcomp`. The `tidy` method returns a data frame with either the eigenvectors representing each row or each column.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'prcomp'
    tidy(x, matrix = "u", ...)

    ## S3 method for class 'prcomp'
    augment(x, data = NULL, newdata, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | an object of class `"prcomp"` resulting from a call to `prcomp`
`matrix` | character; Indicates which sets of eigenvectors are returned in tidy form. "v", "rotation", or "variables" will return information about each variable, while "u", "x", or "samples" (default) returns the loadings for each original row. "d" or "pcs" returns information about each principal component.
`...` | Extra arguments, not used
`data` | the original data on which principal components analysis was performed. This cannot be recovered from `x`. If `newdata` is supplied, `data` is ignored. If both `data` and `newdata` are missing, only the fitted locations on the principal components are returned.
`newdata` | data frame; new observations for which locations on principal components are sought.

### Value

All tidying methods return a data.frame without rownames, whose structure depends on the method chosen.

If `matrix` is "u", "samples", or "x", the `tidy` method returns

`row`

  The sample labels (rownames) of the data set on which PCA was performed

`PC`

  An integer vector indicating the principal component

`value`

  The value of the eigenvector (axis score) on the indicated principal component

If `matrix` is "v", "variables", or "rotation", the `tidy` method returns

`row`

  The variable labels (colnames) of the data set on which PCA was performed

`PC`

  An integer vector indicating the principal component

`value`

  The value of the eigenvector (axis score) on the indicated principal component

If `matrix` is "d" or "pcs", the `tidy` method returns

`PC`

  An integer vector indicating the principal component

`std.dev`

  Standard deviation explained by this PC

`percent`

  Percentage of variation explained

`cumulative`

  Cumulative percentage of variation explained

The `augment.prcomp` method returns a data frame containing fitted locations on the principal components for the observed data plus either the original data or the new data if supplied via `data` or `newdata` respectively.

### Examples

    pc <- prcomp(USArrests, scale = TRUE)

    # information about rotation
    head(tidy(pc))

    # information about samples (states)
    head(tidy(pc, "samples"))

    # information about PCs
    tidy(pc, "pcs")

    # state map
    library(dplyr)
    library(ggplot2)

    pc %>%
      tidy(matrix = "samples") %>%
      mutate(region = tolower(row)) %>%
      inner_join(map_data("state"), by = "region") %>%
      ggplot(aes(long, lat, group = group, fill = value)) +
      geom_polygon() +
      facet_wrap(~ PC) +
      theme_void() +
      ggtitle("Principal components of arrest data")

    au <- augment(pc, data = USArrests)
    head(au)

    ggplot(au, aes(.fittedPC1, .fittedPC2)) +
      geom_point() +
      geom_text(aes(label = .rownames), vjust = 1, hjust = 1)
