Abstract

Collins' (2002) statement "correspondence analysis makes you blind" followed after his seriation like description of a brand attribute count data set analyzed by Whitlark and Smith (2001), who applied correspondence analysis. In this essay we comment on Collins' statement within taxicab correspondence analysis framework by simultaneously decomposing the covariance matrix and its associated density matrix, thus interpreting two interrelated maps for contingency tables : TCov map and TCA map.
