Title : Multiple Factorial Analysis - Xavier Bry - book

Summary :

Based on the principles of simple factor analysis, which allows for the global exploration of a data table, various techniques have been developed to identify the relationships between several tables describing the same entities, but from different points of view. These methods, described as multiple, ranging from regression to generalized canonical analysis, including discriminant analysis and PLS regression, are presented in this book from a unified perspective. Against the background of this common problem, the differences between the techniques presented take on a particular relief that allows for a better understanding of the motivations and the field of application of each. The presentation is made at two levels. The first, forming the body of the book, focuses on providing the interpretative keys to the functioning of each method, in a language combining statistics and geometry. Using more figures than formulas, this level is aimed at any potential user of the methods. The second level, composed of boxes, provides a simple and complete algebraic formulation of the mechanisms implemented. It is particularly intended for students in the second cycle of university or in grandes écoles. It can be completely omitted by any reader primarily concerned with applications. Various very simple examples are proposed to illustrate these techniques.
