Dear ADElist
I am trying to reproduce the factor map figures from Thioulouse and Lobry,
1995 Co-inertia analysis of amino acid physico-chemical properties and
protein composition with the ADE package, Comput. Appl. Biosci 11(3) 321-9.
I would be really grateful if you could tell me which results files from the
co-inertia analysis are required to produce these figures.
Thanks a million
Aedin

La question est importante
Pour moi, une méthode linéaire est une méthode basée sur l'algèbre linéaire
Les choses ne sont pas linéaire, l'algèbre peut l'être !
"linear" is "linear algebra"
Il faut voir le très important article :
Ter Braak, C. J. F. 1985. Correspondence analysis of incidence and
abundance data : properties in terms of a unimodal reponse model.
Biometrics 41:859-873.
"In this paper correspondence analysis is shown to approximate the maximum
likelihood solution of explicit unimodal response models in one latent
variable"
Etonnant, non ?
