Abstract This paper presents an example of online reproducible multivariate data analysis. This example is based on a Web page providing online computing facility on a server. HTML forms contain editable R code snippets that can be executed in any Web browser thanks to the Rweb software. The example of application is based on the multivariate analysis of DNA fingerprints of the internal bacterial flora of the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae. Several multivariate data analysis methods from the ade4 package are used to compare the fingerprints of mite pools coming from various poultry farms. All the computations and graphical displays can be redone interactively and further explored online, using only a Web browser. Statistical methods are detailed in the framework of the duality diagram, and a discussion about online reproducibility is initiated.
