dudi.acm: Multiple Correspondence Analysis

Description

dudi.acm performs the multiple correspondence analysis of a factor table. acm.burt an utility giving the crossed Burt table of two factors table. acm.disjonctif an utility giving the complete disjunctive table of a factor table. boxplot.acm a graphic utility to interpret axes.

Usage

dudi.acm (df, row.w = rep(1, nrow(df)), scannf = TRUE, nf = 2)
acm.burt (df1, df2, counts = rep(1, nrow(df1))) 
acm.disjonctif (df) 
boxplot.acm (x, xax = 1, ...)

Arguments

df, df1, df2

data frames containing only factors

row.w, counts

vector of row weights, by default, uniform weighting

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 acm

xax

the number of factor to display

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

• dudi.acm returns a list of class acm and dudi (see dudi) containing
• cr
  a data frame which rows are the variables, columns are the kept scores and the values are the correlation ratios
