[R] mca & contingency tables - error: "All variables must be factors"
Hi,
I would like to do a multiple correspondence analysis with the mca function in
the MASS library on data that I have as a contingency table (which I've
tried
converting to a data frame).
For example,
======== > data(HairEyeColor)
> hair.df <- as.data.frame(HairEyeColor)
> hair.df
Hair Eye Sex Freq
1 Black Brown Male 32
2 Brown Brown Male 38
3 Red Brown Male 10
4 Blond Brown Male 3
5 Black Blue Male 11
6 Brown Blue Male 50
7 Red Blue Male 10
8 Blond Blue Male 30
9 Black Hazel Male 10
10 Brown Hazel Male 25
11 Red Hazel Male 7
> mca(hair.df)
Error in mca(hair.df) : All variables must be factors
========
What are the manipulations I must do on the data in order for mca to work?
Any help appreciated....
Gina
