FactoMineR (version 1.34)

CA: Correspondence Analysis (CA)

Description

Performs Correspondence Analysis (CA) including supplementary row and/or column points.

Usage

CA(X, ncp = 5, row.sup = NULL, col.sup = NULL,  quanti.sup=NULL, quali.sup = NULL, graph = TRUE, 
	axes = c(1,2), row.w = NULL, excl=NULL)

Arguments

X

a data frame or a table with n rows and p columns, i.e. a contingency table

ncp

number of dimensions kept in the results (by default 5)

row.sup

a vector indicating the indexes of the supplementary rows

col.sup

a vector indicating the indexes of the supplementary columns

quanti.sup

a vector indicating the indexes of the supplementary continuous variables

quali.sup

a vector indicating the indexes of the categorical supplementary variables

graph

boolean, if TRUE a graph is displayed

axes

a length 2 vector specifying the components to plot

row.w

an optional row weights (by default, a vector of 1 and each row has a weight equals to its margin)

excl

numeric vector indicating the indexes of the "junk" columns (default is NULL). Useful for MCA with excl argument.

Value

Returns a list including:Returns the row and column points factor map. The plot may be improved using the argument autolab, modifying the size of the labels or selecting some elements thanks to the plot.CA function.

Examples

data(children)
res.ca <- CA (children, row.sup = 15:18, col.sup = 6:8)
summary(res.ca)
## Ellipses for all the active elements
ellipseCA(res.ca)
## Ellipses around some columns only
ellipseCA(res.ca,ellipse="col",col.col.ell=c(rep("blue",2),rep("transparent",3)),
     invisible=c("row.sup","col.sup"))
