THE CORRESPONDENCE ANALYSIS APPLIED ON THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR OF EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES USING STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM

The main goal of analysis is represented by studying the simultaneous correspondences of lines and columns of a contingency table in order to highlight the connections and the correspondences between the sets of variables. There are two basic ways to achieve the correspondence analysis. First is the analysis of relationships between the two variables whose observation we find a contingency table and the second is the analysis of relationships between a set of variables (types of responses of subjects) and another group of qualitative variables with more ways to respond. In our analysis we use eight variables from agriculture measured on European Union countries, then we applied correspondence analysis on the data set and we showed how the countries group by the quantities of information brought by each indicator.
