Richard,
There's the corresp() function in library(MASS)
and Fionn Murtagh's code to go with his correspondence analysis
book is available over the web.
This is very common practice with R books.
While playing with the data, I was struck by two prominent
lines I kept seeing:
table(loc_written)
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
2 3 3 8 1 7 3 3
^ ^
I don't suppose it has any significance at all for your results,
but I wonder why the loc_written data were so clumpy.
That 8 caught my eye, it should be 7 (a typo).
I checked the other numbers and they are correct.
What this is saying is that developers don't have a clue how many lines
of code they have read/written (see extract of question below).
In places they are not even consistent and there is a poor correlation
with experience (0s indicate no answer given, which should really be
NA).
