Correspondence Analysis of Longitudinal Data

Correspondence analysis is an exploratory tool for the analysis of associations between categorical variables, the results of which may be displayed graphically. For longitudinal data with two time points, an analysis of the transition matrix (showing the relative frequencies for pairs of categories) provides insight into the structure of departures from independence in the transitions. Transitions between more than two time points can be studied simultaneously. Examples are provided.
