Relationship Square
In statistics, the relationship square is a graphical representation for use in the factorial analysis of a table ''individuals'' x ''variables''. This representation completes classical representations provided by principal component analysis (PCA) or multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), namely those of individuals, of quantitative variables (correlation circle) and of the categories of qualitative variables (at the centroid of the individuals who possess them). It is especially important in factor analysis of mixed data (FAMD) and in multiple factor analysis (MFA). Definition of ''relationship square'' in the MCA frame The first interest of the relationship square is to represent the variables themselves, not their categories, which is all the more valuable as there are many variables. For this, we calculate for each qualitative variable j and each factor F_s ( F_s , rank s factor, is the vector of coordinates of the individuals along the axis of rank s ; in PCA, F_s i ...

Principal Component Analysis
Principal component analysis (PCA) is a popular technique for analyzing large datasets containing a high number of dimensions/features per observation, increasing the interpretability of data while preserving the maximum amount of information, and enabling the visualization of multidimensional data. Formally, PCA is a statistical technique for reducing the dimensionality of a dataset. This is accomplished by linearly transforming the data into a new coordinate system where (most of) the variation in the data can be described with fewer dimensions than the initial data. Many studies use the first two principal components in order to plot the data in two dimensions and to visually identify clusters of closely related data points. Principal component analysis has applications in many fields such as population genetics, microbiome studies, and atmospheric science. The principal components of a collection of points in a real coordinate space are a sequence of p unit vectors, where th ...

Multiple Correspondence Analysis
In statistics, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) is a data analysis technique for nominal categorical data, used to detect and represent underlying structures in a data set. It does this by representing data as points in a low-dimensional Euclidean space. The procedure thus appears to be the counterpart of principal component analysis for categorical data. MCA can be viewed as an extension of simple correspondence analysis (CA) in that it is applicable to a large set of categorical variables. As an extension of correspondence analysis MCA is performed by applying the CA algorithm to either an indicator matrix (also called ''complete disjunctive table'' – CDT) or a ''Burt table'' formed from these variables. An indicator matrix is an individuals × variables matrix, where the rows represent individuals and the columns are dummy variables representing categories of the variables. Analyzing the indicator matrix allows the direct representation of individuals as points in ge ...

Factor Analysis Of Mixed Data
In statistics, factor analysis of mixed data or factorial analysis of mixed data (FAMD, in the French original: ''AFDM'' or ''Analyse Factorielle de Données Mixtes''), is the factorial method devoted to data tables in which a group of individuals is described both by quantitative and qualitative variables. It belongs to the exploratory methods developed by the French school called ''Analyse des données'' (data analysis) founded by Jean-Paul Benzécri. The term ''mixed'' refers to the use of both quantitative and qualitative variables. Roughly, we can say that FAMD works as a principal components analysis (PCA) for quantitative variables and as a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) for qualitative variables. Scope When data include both types of variables but the active variables being homogeneous, PCA or MCA can be used. Indeed, it is easy to include supplementary quantitative variables in MCA by the correlation coefficients between the variables and factors on individuals ( ...

Correlation Ratio
In statistics, the correlation ratio is a measure of the curvilinear relationship between the statistical dispersion within individual categories and the dispersion across the whole population or sample. The measure is defined as the ''ratio'' of two standard deviations representing these types of variation. The context here is the same as that of the intraclass correlation coefficient, whose value is the square of the correlation ratio. Definition Suppose each observation is ''yxi'' where ''x'' indicates the category that observation is in and ''i'' is the label of the particular observation. Let ''nx'' be the number of observations in category ''x'' and :\overline_x=\frac and \overline=\frac, where \overline_x is the mean of the category ''x'' and \overline is the mean of the whole population. The correlation ratio η (eta) is defined as to satisfy :\eta^2 = \frac which can be written as :\eta^2 = \frac, \text^2 = \frac \text ^2 = \frac, i.e. the weighted variance of the ...

Figure 1
Figure 1 is a Toronto, Ontario-based online social networking service for healthcare professionals to post and comment on medical images. Figure 1 was founded in Toronto by Dr. Joshua Landy, Richard Penner and Gregory Levey. The platform launched in North America in May 2013 and is now available in more than 100 countries. The privately held company reports more than 1 million healthcare professionals use its app and website. Funding In 2013, Figure 1 launched with $2 million (CDN) in seed money, with Rho Canada Ventures and Version One Ventures led the investment. In 2015, the company added $5 million (USD) to its Series A financing round, which was led by Union Square Ventures, an early investor in Twitter, Tumblr, Etsy, and Kickstarter. This brings the total round to $9 million (USD). Reception Figure 1's content has been characterized as "gruesome". The app's founder said the "very colorful images" are what medics see every day. "It's a transparent view into a world y ...
