scaled.dev: Scaled deviations for a categorical supplementary variable

Description

From MCA results, computes scaled deviations between categories for a categorical supplementary variable.

Usage

scaled.dev(resmca, var)

Value

Returns a list with one matrix for each dimension of the MCA. Each matrix is filled with scaled deviations between the categories of the supplementary variable, for a given dimension.

Arguments

resmca

object created with MCA, speMCA, csMCA, wcMCA, bcMCA, stMCA or multiMCA function

var
