fanalysis

fanalysis is a Python module for Factorial Analysis distributed under the 3-Clause BSD license.

With this fanalysis package, you can perform:

• Simple Correspondence Analysis
• Multiple Correspondence Analysis
• Principal Components Analysis

Those statistical methods can be used in two ways:

• as descriptive methods ("datamining approach")
• as reduction methods in scikit-learn pipelines ("machine learning approach")

Running the tests
