Multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) is a statistical method for exploring and visualizing relationships between categorical variables. It is commonly used in the social sciences to analyze survey data.
To perform MCA with Python, you can use the prince library. Here is an example of how you can use this library to perform MCA on a Pandas DataFrame:
In this example, df is the Pandas DataFrame that contains the data for the analysis. The n_components parameter specifies the number of dimensions to keep in the MCA model. The fit() method fits the MCA model to the data, and the eigenvalues_ attribute returns the eigenvalues of the model.
The plot_coordinates() method is used to visualize the MCA results. This function creates a scatter plot of the MCA components, with each row and column of the data represented by a point. The show_row_points, show_row_labels, show_column_points, and show_column_labels parameters control whether the points and labels for the rows and columns are displayed.
