ANALYSIS Subcommand (MULTIPLE CORRESPONDENCE command)

ANALYSIS specifies the variables to be used in the computations, and the variable weight for each variable or variable list. ANALYSIS also specifies supplementary variables; no weight can be specified for supplementary variables.

• At least two variables must be specified, except if the CONFIGURATION subcommand with the FIXED keyword is used.
• All the variables on ANALYSIS must be specified on the VARIABLES subcommand.
• The ANALYSIS subcommand is required.
• The keyword TO in the variable list honors the order of variables in the VARIABLES subcommand.
• Variable weights are indicated by the keyword WEIGHT in parentheses following the variable or variable list.

WEIGHT. Specifies the variable weight. The default value is 1. If WEIGHT is specified for supplementary variables, this is ignored (but with a syntax warning).
