I think that there is no problem with your data... problem comes from
ADEBin. I understand that TextToBin-BlocTo1Categ option works but the
error message appears when you want to see the file .. this is
"normal".. Indeed, ADEBin is a module to view small binary files. Try
to convert your binary file into a text file with ADETrans or
BintoText. Is the text file truncated ?? I hope that the answer is
no. Another way to see if there is a problem: If you use VerifCateg,
what ADE-4 tells you ?
If you prefer, ade4 is now a package of R statistical software and
fuzzy correspondence analysis is available by the function dudi.fca
Sincerely.
