Some notes on Goodman's marginal-free correspondence analysis
share
In his seminal paper Goodman (1996) introduced marginal-free correspondence analysis; where his principal aim was to reconcile Pearson correlation measure with Yule's association measure in the analysis of contingency tables. We show that marginal-free correspondence analysis is a particular case of correspondence analysis with prespecified weights studied in the beginning of the 1980s by Benzécri and his students. Furthermore, we show that it is also a particular first-order approximation of logratio analysis with uniform weights. Key words: Marginal-free correspondence analysis; logratio analysis; interactions; scale invariance; taxicab singular value decomposition.
