On the prehistory of Correspondence Analysis

J. de Leeuw

Statistica Neerlandica, 1983, vol. 37, issue 4, 161-164

Abstract: Abstract The early history of correspondence analysis is reviewed. It is shown that K. Pearson came very close to discovering correspondence analysis in 1906. That he did not actually discover it may be because he was not familiar with the singular value decomposition, which is the basic existence result in correspondence analysis.
