9 Links and independence between qualitative variables Independence model: Independent events: P(A and B) = P(A) P(B) Independent qualitative variables: i, j, ij = i..j Joint probability = product o marginal probabilities ij ij Another way to write it: =.j = i. i..j Conditional probability = marginal probability 9 / 43

10 Links and independence between qualitative variables Deviation o observed data ( ij ) rom independence model ( i..j ) Signiicance o the link/deviation: χ 2 test χ 2 obs = I J (obs. num. theor. num.) 2 theor. num i= j= = I J (n ij n i..j ) 2 n i..j i= j= χ 2 obs = I J n i= j= (observed probability theoretical probability)2 theoretical probability = n Φ 2 2 Strength o the link = Φ 2 = deviation o observed probabilities rom theoretical ones 3 Type o link = connections between certain categories CA works with the table o probabilities says nothing about signiicance visualizes the sorts o links there are between the variables 0 / 43

Analysis by row: ij i. =.j Categories o V 2 j J Σ Row proile i = conditional distribution o V2 knowing that we are the category i or V Categories o V i ij i.

41 Distributional equivalence Distributional equivalence: i rows with the same values are grouped, the CA results are totally equivalent (same or columns) Application to analysis o texts: Thanks to distributional equivalence, i two (or more) words are used in the same circumstances, their coordinates will be close together, so doing the analysis with both, or just one, is entirely equivalent very useul (to group singular and plural versions o words, verb conjugations, etc.) 39 / 43

43 Conclusions or our example Chemistery Economic science Literature Mathematics Medicine Peace Physics Canada France Germany Italy Japan Russia UK USA Dim 2 (24.60%) Economic science Peace Medicine USA Canada UK Physics Chemistry Germany Japan Russia France Italy Literature Dim (54.75%) CA gives a good summary visual o the deviation rom independence, which helps to understand the data table (and especially, big data tables) As or this data: Most o the deviation rom independence appears in the separation o Science vs The rest. And to a lesser extent: physics/chemistry vs economics The position o each country shows its strengths in getting various prizes 4 / 43

44 Conclusion To study the link between qualitative variables, we build a contingency table The link is ound in the dierence between this table, and what it would look like i there was independence Correspondence analysis: build a point cloud o rows (and o columns) whose total inertia measures the strength o the deviation rom independence break down this total inertia into a sequence o axes o decreasing importance, each representing some eature o the link between the variables visually represent the rows and columns in such a way that their position on the graph relects their participation in the deviation rom independence 42 / 43
