Analyzing two-way contingency tables with a simple correspondence analysis

We will use simple correspondence analysis to investigate the associations in a two-way contingency table. This is a technique to investigate frequencies of observations within the table.

The example dataset that is used is from the data and stat library and looks at the characteristics that students find important in a good teacher for academic success.

Here, we will use simple correspondence analysis to investigate the relationship between the behaviors in the rows and the count of how often they are identified as important (IM), neither important nor unimportant (NU), and not important (NI).
