Individual Spaces

Under the correspondence initial configuration, each of the individual spaces has a higher specificity; that is, each situation under which the participants ranked the breakfast items is more strongly associated with a specific dimension. The most divergent sources are still Breakfast, with juice, bacon and eggs, and beverage, and Snack, with beverage only.

The higher specificity is evident in the joint plot of the individual space Breakfast, with juice, bacon and eggs, and beverage. The source loads even more heavily on the first dimension than under the classical Spearman start, so the row and column objects show a little less variation on the vertical axis and a little more variation on the horizontal axis.

The joint plot of the individual space Snack, with beverage only shows that the row and column objects lie more closely to a vertical line than under the classical Spearman start.
