laterAFCM {Laterality}

laterAFCM: this function calculates disjunctive table, Burt table and contributions for multiple correspondence analysis (MCA).

Description

Calculates disjunctive table, Burt table and contributions for MCA.

Usage

  laterAFCM(data, scannf=FALSE, nf=2, saveDatadisj = FALSE, fileDatadisj = "Datadisj.csv",
  saveSumcolDatadisj = FALSE, fileSumcolDatadisj = "SumcolDatadisj.csv",
  saveDataburt = FALSE, fileDataburt = "Databurt.csv", 
  saveContributions = FALSE, fileContributions = "Contributions.csv")

Arguments

data

A data.frame with the qualitative variables which should be taken in account in the multiple correspondence analysis.

scannf

A logical value indicating whether the eigenvalues bar plot should be displayed; see ade4 package (by default scannf = FALSE).

nf

If scannf=FALSE, an integer indicating the number of kept axes; see ade4 package (by default nf = 2).

saveDatadisj

This arguments permits to save directly the results of the disjunctive table in a .csv file in the workspace of R. If savetable = "csv" there will be "." for the decimal point and a "," for the separator. If savetable = "csv2" there will be "," for the decimal point and a ";" for the separator. (by default savetable = FALSE)

fileDatadisj

This argument will work if savetable = "csv" or "csv2". It gives the name of the csv file saved (by default file = "Datadisj.csv")

saveSumcolDatadisj

This arguments permits to save directly the results of the sum of the column of the disjunctive table in a .csv file in the workspace of R. If savetable = "csv" there will be "." for the decimal point and a "," for the separator. If savetable = "csv2" there will be "," for the decimal point and a ";" for the separator. (by default savetable = FALSE)

fileSumcolDatadisj

This argument will work if savetable = "csv" or "csv2". It gives the name of the csv file saved (by default file = "SumcolDatadisj.csv")

saveDataburt

This arguments permits to save directly the results of the Burt table in a .csv file in the workspace of R. If savetable = "csv" there will be "." for the decimal point and a "," for the separator. If savetable = "csv2" there will be "," for the decimal point and a ";" for the separator. (by default savetable = FALSE)

fileDataburt

This argument will work if savetable = "csv" or "csv2". It gives the name of the csv file saved (by default file = "Databurt.csv")

saveContributions

This arguments permits to save directly the results of the contributions table in a .csv file in the workspace of R. If savetable = "csv" there will be "." for the decimal point and a "," for the separator. If savetable = "csv2" there will be "," for the decimal point and a ";" for the separator. (by default savetable = FALSE)

fileContributions

This argument will work if savetable = "csv" or "csv2". It gives the name of the csv file saved (by default file = "Contributions.csv")

Value

The function returns results of class "list".
