Opis

Multiple correspondence analysis is a statistical technique that is strongly associated with the work of Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002). In seven chapters, this volume will provide the reader with a comprehensive introduction and the needed knowledge to do analyses on his/her own: CA, MCA, Specific MCA, the integration of MCA and variance analysis, of MCA and ascending hierarchical cluster analysis and class specific MCA on subgroups. The book is written as a non-technical introduction, intended for the advanced undergraduate level and onwards.
