Biplots in Practice by Michael Greenacre.
I was rather disappointed in the pricing information for the monographs on biplots cited in Christophe Lalanne’s Biplots. Particularly since most users would be new to biplots and reluctant to invest that kind of money in a monograph.
With a little searching I cam across this volume by Michael Greenacre, which is described as follows:
Biplots in Practice is a comprehensive introduction to one of the most useful and versatile methods of multivariate data visualization: the biplot. The biplot extends the idea of a simple scatterplot of two variables to the case of many variables, with the objective of visualizing the maximum possible amount of information in the data. Research data are typically presented in the form of a rectangular table and the biplot takes its name from the fact that it visualizes the rows and the columns of this table in a common space. This book explains the specific interpretation of the biplot in many different areas of multivariate analysis, notably regression, generalized linear modelling, principal component analysis, log-ratio analysis, various forms of correspondence analysis and discriminant analysis. It includes applications in many different fields of the social and natural sciences, and provides three detailed case studies documenting how the biplot reveals structure in large complex data sets in genomics (where thousands of variables are commonly encountered), in social survey research (where many categorical variables are studied simultaneously) and ecological research (where relationships between two sets of variables are investigated).
It is available online as well as a print publication.
The R code and other supplemental materials are available at this site.
In terms of promoting biplots, I think this is a step in the right direction.
