In factoextra PCA, how to add max.overlaps parameter? Like input max.overlaps=100 to PAC will fail:
library(factoextra)
library(FactoMineR)
library(tidyverse)
PCA(decathlon2[,- ncol(decathlon2)])
In my actual sample , I met below message in PCA, so I think add max.overlaps to PCA function.
The actual data is harder to reproduce.
ggrepel: 15 unlabeled data points (too many overlaps). Consider increasing max.overlaps
I don't see any (easy) option to set max.overlaps. First, there is no way to pass max.overlaps to the the default plot.PCA method. Instead plot.PCA uses the default from geom_text_repel. Second, when you call PCA the plots are printed by default but not returned. Hence, there is no easy way to set max.overlaps by manipulating the ggplot objects.
Instead I would suggest to set graph=FALSE and instead use e.g. fviz_pca_ind and fviz_pca_var from factoextra to create the plots. While these functions also do not allow to set max.overlaps they default to max.overlaps=Inf. And if required they allow for further manipulation of the ggplot object.
library(factoextra)
library(FactoMineR)
pca <- PCA(decathlon2[, -ncol(decathlon2)], graph = FALSE)
fviz_pca_ind(pca, repel = TRUE)

fviz_pca_var(pca, repel = TRUE)
