Multiple Correspondence Analysis Variable Plots

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

Category Plots. For each variable selected, a plot of the centroid coordinates is plotted. Categories are in the centroids of the objects in the particular categories.

Joint Category Plots. This is a single plot of the centroid coordinates of each selected variable.

Transformation Plots. Displays a plot of the optimal category quantifications versus the category indicators. You can specify the number of dimensions; one plot will be generated for each dimension. You can also choose to display residual plots for each variable selected.

Discrimination Measures. Produces a single plot of the discrimination measures for the selected variables.

To Obtain Category Plots in Multiple Correspondence Analysis

1. Select the variables in the Multiple Correspondence Analysis dialog box.
2. In the Plots group, click Category.
3. Select the types of plots and variables for which plots will be produced.
