RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN CORRESPONDENCE ANALYSIS
Monday 28 November, 9am to 12:30pm
The third edition of Michael Greenacre’s book Correspondence Analysis in Practice will appear in 2016, published by Chapman & Hall. In this course he will present some of the new material in the book, such as the use of fuzzy coding, the treatment of missing data, contribution biplots, relationship to compositional data analysis, the analysis of matched matrices, and permutation testing. The accent is on the practical utility of these new aspects, and many illustrations will be given as well as a brief introduction to correspondence analysis. Many parts of his presentation will use dynamic graphics to illustrate the concepts and facilitate participants' understanding of the methods.
