MULTIPLE CORRESPONDENCE

MULTIPLE CORRESPONDENCE is available in Sampling and Testing.

MULTIPLE CORRESPONDENCE quantifies nominal (categorical) data by assigning numerical values to the cases (objects) and categories, such that in the low-dimensional representation of the data, objects within the same category are close together and objects in different categories are far apart.
