Nonsymmetric Correspondence Analysis: A Tool for Analysing Contingency TablesWith a Dependence Structure

In this article a case is made for using nonsymmetric correspondence analysis to evaluate contingency tables with a dependence structure. A nontechnical overview of the method is presented in the article itself, while the relevant formulae are given in the Appendix. The technique is illustrated with three examples from such diverse areas as the intergenerational transfer of attachment, division of household tasks between recently married couples illustrating the handling of longitudinal data via supplementary variables, and attractiveness of products for shoplifting illustrating categorical multiple regression.
