We consider the joint analysis of two matched matrices which have common rows and columns, for example multivariate data observed at two time points or split according to a dichotomous variable. Methods of interest include principal components analysis for interval-scaled data, correspondence...

This study shows how correspondence analysis may be applied to a subset of response categories from a questionnaire survey (e.g., the subset of undecided responses or the subset of responses for a particular category across several questions). The idea is to maintain the original relative...

Power transformations of positive data tables, prior to applying the correspondence analysis algorithm, are shown to open up a family of methods with direct connections to the analysis of log-ratios. Two variations of this idea are illustrated. The first approach is simply to power transform the...
