Correspondence Analysis Statistics

The Statistics dialog box allows you to specify the numerical output produced.

Correspondence table. A crosstabulation of the input variables with row and column marginal totals.

Overview of row points. For each row category, the scores, mass, inertia, contribution to the inertia of the dimension, and the contribution of the dimension to the inertia of the point.

Overview of column points. For each column category, the scores, mass, inertia, contribution to the inertia of the dimension, and the contribution of the dimension to the inertia of the point.

Row profiles. For each row category, the distribution across the categories of the column variable.

Column profiles. For each column category, the distribution across the categories of the row variable.

Permutations of the correspondence table. The correspondence table reorganized such that the rows and columns are in increasing order according to the scores on the first dimension. Optionally, you can specify the maximum dimension number for which permuted tables will be produced. A permuted table for each dimension from 1 to the number specified is produced.

Confidence Statistics for Row points. Includes standard deviation and correlations for all nonsupplementary row points.

Confidence Statistics for Column points. Includes standard deviation and correlations for all nonsupplementary column points.
