Figure 3. Discriminant correspondence analysis.

Figure 3

95% confidence intervals for age groups shown on factors 1 and 2. Lambda (Inline graphic) and tau (Inline graphic) are the eigenvalues and the percentage of explained inertia (i.e., variance) for a given factor (Inline graphic, Inline graphic; Inline graphic, Inline graphic). Confidence ellipses represent the variability within the group. Ellipses showing no overlap represent different populations. Note that in correspondence analysis, the eigenvalues are never greater than 1.
