## Partial Triadic Analysis of a K-tables

### Description

performs a partial triadic analysis of a K-tables, using an object of class `ktab`.

### Usage

    pta(X, scannf = TRUE, nf = 2)
    plot.pta (x, xax = 1, yax = 2, option = 1:4, ...)
    print.pta (x, ...)

### Arguments

`X` | an object of class `ktab` where the arrays have 1) the same dimensions 2) the same names for columns 3) the same column weightings
`scannf` | a logical value indicating whether the eigenvalues bar plot should be displayed
`nf` | if scannf FALSE, an integer indicating the number of kept axes
`x` | an object of class 'pta'
`xax, yax` | the numbers of the x-axis and the y-axis
`option` | an integer between 1 and 4, otherwise the 4 components of the plot are displayed
`...` | further arguments passed to or from other methods

### Value

returns a list of class 'pta', sub-class of 'dudi' containing :

`RV` | a matrix with the all RV coefficients
`RV.eig` | a numeric vector with the all eigenvalues (interstructure)
`RV.coo` | a data frame with the scores of the arrays
`tab.names` | a vector of characters with the array names
`nf` | an integer indicating the number of kept axes
`rank` | an integer indicating the rank of the studied matrix
`tabw` | a numeric vector with the array weights
`cw` | a numeric vector with the column weights
`lw` | a numeric vector with the row weights
`eig` | a numeric vector with the all eigenvalues (compromis)
`cos2` | a numeric vector with the cos² between compromise and arrays
`tab` | a data frame with the modified array
`li` | a data frame with the row coordinates
`l1` | a data frame with the row normed scores
`co` | a data frame with the column coordinates
`c1` | a data frame with the column normed scores
`Tli` | a data frame with the row coordinates (each table)
`Tco` | a data frame with the column coordinates (each table)
`Tcomp` | a data frame with the principal components (each table)
`Tax` | a data frame with the principal axes (each table)
`TL` | a data frame with the factors for Tli
`TC` | a data frame with the factors for Tco
`T4` | a data frame with the factors for Tax and Tcomp
