R: Printing ca objects

print.ca {ca} | R Documentation

## Printing ca objects

### Description

Printing method for correspondence analysis objects

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'ca'
    print(x, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | Simple correspondence analysis object returned by `ca`
`...` | Further arguments are ignored

### Details

The function `print.ca` gives the basic statistics of the `ca` object. First the eigenvalues (that is, principal inertias) and their percentages with respect to total inertia are printed. Then for the rows and columns respectively, the following are printed: the masses, chi-square distances of the points to the centroid (i.e., centroid of the active points), point inertias (for active points only) and principal coordinates on the first `nd` dimensions requested (default = 2 dimensions). The function `summary.ca` gives more detailed results about the inertia contributions of each point on each principal axis.
For supplementary points, masses and inertias are not applicable.
