STATIS and Co-Inertia : Analysis of a series of paired ecological tables

Description

Prepares the analysis of a series of paired ecological tables. Partial Triadic Analysis (see pta) can be used thereafter to perform the analysis of this k-table.

Usage

ktab.match2ktabs(KTX, KTY)

Arguments

KTX

an objet of class ktab

KTY
