title: Simple correspondence analysis in Python
body: <p>How can I run simple correspondence analysis (CA) in Python? In the sklearn library, there only appears to be multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) options. However, my data is not categorical and does not need the additional linearity constraints applied by CCA.</p>
  
  <p>My impression based on <a href="http://131.95.113.139/courses/multivariate/CCA.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this link on CCA</a> and <a href="https://www.utdallas.edu/~herve/Abdi-MCA2007-pretty.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one on MCA</a> is that regular CA cannot be applied by using one of the two other option. </p>
