Correspondence analysis is a powerful exploratory multivariate technique for categorical variables with many levels. It is a data analysis tool that characterizes associations between levels of two or
more categorical variables using graphical representations of the information in a contingency table. It is particularly useful when categorical variables have many levels.
This presentation will give a brief introduction and overview of the use of correspondence analysis, including a review of chi square analysis, and examples interpreting both simple and multiple correspondence plots.

I am a big fan of CA/MCA… but I stand ‘almost’ alone in the southern hemisphere. Unfortunately, CA is virtually unknown in Australia. So when I tell/teach about it, the topic is met with resistance.
Love to sit in on the BB program on CA – time differences means I won’t be able to do it live (and I am also attending a leximancer course: see https://www.issr.uq.edu.au/mfsas-stream-d).
Will the BB be recorded?
