Multiple Correspondence Analysis Object Plots

The Object Plots dialog box allows you to specify the types of plots you want and the variables to be plotted

Object points. A plot of the object points is displayed.

Objects and centroids (biplot). The object points are plotted with the variable centroids.

Biplot Variables. You can choose to use all variables for the biplots or select a subset.

Label Objects. You can choose to have objects labeled with the categories of selected variables (you may choose category indicator values or value labels in the Options dialog box) or with their case numbers. One plot is produced per variable if Variable is selected.
