handle missing values in exploratory multivariate analysis such as principal component analysis (PCA), multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), factor analysis for mixed data (FAMD) and multiple factor analysis (MFA)
impute missing values in continuous data sets using the PCA model, categorical data sets using MCA, mixed data using FAMD
generate multiple imputed data sets for continuous data using the PCA model and for categorical data using MCA
visualize multiple imputation in PCA and MCA
