_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Computation of simple correspondence analysis.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ca(obj, nd = NA, suprow = NA, supcol = NA, subsetrow = NA, subsetcol = NA)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

      obj: A two-way table of non-negative data, usually frequencies.

       nd: Number of dimensions to be included in the output; if NA the
          maximum possible dimensions are included.

   suprow: Indices of supplementary rows.

   supcol: Indices of supplementary columns.

subsetrow: Row indices of subset.

subsetcol: Column indices of subset.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The function 'ca' computes a simple correspondence analysis based
     on the  singular value decomposition.
      The options 'suprow' and 'supcol' allow supplementary (passive)
     rows and columns to be specified.  Using the options 'subsetrow'
     and/or 'subsetcol' result in a subset CA being performed.

_V_a_l_u_e:

        sv: Singular values

        nd: Dimenson of the solution

  rownames: Row names

   rowmass: Row masses

   rowdist: Row chi-square distances to centroid

rowinertia: Row inertias

  rowcoord: Row standard coordinates

    rowsup: Indices of row supplementary points

  colnames: Column names

   colmass: Column masses

   coldist: Column chi-square distances to centroid

colinertia: Column inertias

  colcoord: Column standard coordinates

    colsup: Indices of column supplementary points
