Are wines described in the same way by the different juries? Are there specific responses from certain juries? 4 / 39

7 Aims Study the similarity between individuals with respect to the whole set of variables AND the relationships between variables Take the group structure into account Study the overall similarities and differences between groups (and the specific features of each group) Study the similarities and differences between groups from an individual s point of view Compare the characteristics of individuals from the separate analyses Balance the influence of all of the groups in the analysis 6 / 39

8 1 Data - Introduction 2 Equilibrium and global PCA 3 Studying groups Group representation Partial points representation Separate analyses 4 Further topics Qualitative data Contingency tables Interpretation aids Outline 7 / 39

9 Balancing the influence of each group of variables In PCA : normalizing balances each variable s influence (when calculating distances between individuals i and i ) In MFA, we balance in terms of groups 1st idea : divide each variable by the total inertia of the group it belongs to Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 8 highly correlated variables 3 orthogonal variables 3 orthogonal variables 2nd idea : divide each variable by the (square root of the) 1st eigenvalue of the group it belongs to 8 / 39

10 Balancing the influence of each group of variables Doing data analysis, in good mathematics, is simply searching for eigenvectors ; all the science of it (the art) is to find the right matrix to diagonalize Benzécri MFA is a weighted PCA : calculate the 1st eigenvalue λ j 1 of the jth group of variables (j = 1,..., J) do an overall PCA on the weighted table : [ ] X 1 X 2 X ; ;...; J λ 1 1 λ 2 1 λ J 1 X j corresponds to the jth normalized or standardized table 9 / 39

11 Balancing the influence of each group of variables Before weighting After weighting Expert Student Consumer Expert Student Consumer λ λ λ / 39 Same weights for all variables from the same group : group structure is preserved For each group, the variance of the principal dimension (first eigenvalue) is equal to 1 No group can generate the first axis on its own A multi-dimensional group will contribute to more axes than a one-dimensional group

12 MFA - a weighted PCA Same plots as in PCA Study similarities between individuals in terms of the set of variables Study relationships between variables Characterize individuals in terms of variables Same outputs (coordinates, cosine, contributions) Add individuals and variables (quantitative, qualitative) as supplementary information 11 / 39
