PLATFORM | Windows, MAC, Unix. New developments run under R. |
PURPOSE | Spatial and multivariate analysis programs. |
FUNCTIONS | + Principal components analysis (PCA) is devoted to quantitative measurements + Correspondence analysis (COA) enables the study of contingency tables (counts of the joint occurrences of rows and columns of a table). + Multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) permits to analyze qualitative (or categorical) variables. + Discriminant analysis and within/between groups analyses (starting from either PCA, COA or MCA tables). + Spatial data analysis methods (local and global analyses, based on local variance and spatial autocorrelation: Moran & Geary indices) are also available. + Mapping and contouring tools |
CODES | R codes available |
TIP | Very active homepage ADE-4 on the Web with full examples of the use of their tools (English and French version available). Excellent mailing list of ADE 4 users (mainly French speaking users). |
