Dimension description

Description

This function is designed to point out the variables and the categories that are the most characteristic according to each dimension obtained by a Factor Analysis.

Usage

dimdesc(res, axes = 1:3, proba = 0.05)

Arguments

res

an object of class PCA, MCA, CA, MFA or HMFA

axes

a vector with the dimensions to describe

proba

the significance threshold considered to characterized the dimension (by default 0.05)

Value

Returns a list including:

quanti

the description of the dimensions by the quantitative variables. The variables are sorted.

quali
