Soc.ca - a package for specific correspondence analysis

This R package is optimized to the needs of sociologists producing specific and class specific multiple correspondence analysis on survey-like data. soc.ca is optimized to only give the most essential statistical output values sorted so as to help in analysis. Separate functions exists for near publication-ready plots and tables.

Acknowledgements

We are in debt to the great work of others, especially Brigitte Le Roux and Henry Rouanet for the mathematical definitions of the method and their examples. Furthermore this package was initially based on code from the ca package written by Michael Greenacre and Oleg Nenadic.

If you are looking for features that are absent in soc.ca, it may be available in some of these great packages for correspondence analysis: ca, anacor and FactoMineR.
