Member Training: Correspondence Analysis

by guest contributer 1 Comment

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.


Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.

    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?
