Statistical analysis and graphical display of multivariate data on the Macintosh.
Two Macintosh programs written for multivariate data analysis and multivariate data graphical display are presented. MacMul includes principal component analysis (PCA), correspondence analysis (CA) and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), with a complete, original and unified set of numerical aids to interpretation. GraphMu is designed for drawing collections of elementary graphics (curves, maps, graphical models) thus allowing comparisons between variables, individuals, and principal axes planes of multivariate methods. Both programs are self-documented applications and make full use of the user-oriented graphical interface of the Macintosh to simplify the process of analysing data sets. An example is described to show the results obtained on a small ecological data set.
