Multiple Factor Analysis

Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA) is a dimension reduction technique developed by Escofier and Pagès (1985) for analyzing multiple groups of variables measured on the same observations. MFA balances the influence of each variable group to provide a unified view of how observations relate across multiple perspectives.
