What #linux #software can I use to do Correspondence Analysis of 2D data matrices?

#statistics

@mrundkvist The first two that spring to mind are https://octave.org/ & https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/

But it might be simpler to use python with numpy and pandas.

Let me know if you need a hand.

GNU Octave

GNU Octave is a programming language for scientific computing.

@greenboxcode Thank you! I can't code and I don't understand the underlying math. I am used to having a black box (under Windows) into which I toss a spreadsheet, and then a scattergram pops out of the other side of the box. What happens inside the box is completely opaque to me.
@mrundkvist @greenboxcode Which black box?

@noctuaminervae @greenboxcode

The Bonn Archaeological Statistics Package.

@mrundkvist @greenboxcode Ooh, that package looks like a subject for archaeological study itself. 🙂 If it’s what you’re comfortable with, you *could* try to get it to run under Wine, perhaps.

The PSPP manual lists correspondence analysis under “parts of the pspp language that are not yet implemented”, which sounds … not great.

I find R repays study, though (as no doubt do Octave or Pandas/Numpy), and what you want can probably be done in a few lines of code with the right packages installed.
