The course is offered to researchers, PhD-students and Master students.

To apply for admission send an e-mail to Mikael Börjesson <mikael.borjesson@edu.uu.se>, to whom also questions might be directed.

Those who have attended our earlier courses on Geometric Data Analysis (GDA) and correspondence analysis are welcome to participate also in this one, and especially the latter part. Much new stuff will be offered on the last two days.

Course materials will be available at this web-page. Before the start of the course the participants will receive information to download and install the statistical package SPAD on their laptop.

We recommend the use of the most recent SPAD version that includes specific MCA as well as concentration and confidence ellipses, which are special features developed by Brigitte Le Roux et al. See http://www.spad.eu/. For more information please contact Mikael Börjesson <mikael.borjesson@edu.uu.se>

Each participant is asked to bring their own portable computer with a not too limited amount of free hard disk space available. If this causes difficulties, please contact the course administrators in advance.

On the French guest teachers

The mathematician Brigitte Le Roux is affiliated to the laboratory of Applied Mathematics (MAP5/CNRS and Université Paris Descartes) and she is associate researcher at the political research centre Sciences-Po Paris (CEVIPOF/CNRS). She completed her doctoral dissertation with J.-P. Benzécri and she wrote several books with the late Henry Rouanet (see his web site). The two major books written by Brigitte Le Roux and Henry Rouanet are Multiple Correspondence Analysis (Sage publications) and Geometric Data Analysis. >From Correspondence Analysis to Structured Data Analysis (Kluwer Academic Publishers).

Today Brigitte Le Roux is world leading specialist in the French "analyse des données" tradition. This statistical tradition, founded by Jean-Paul Benzécri in the 1960's and the 1970's, has in recent years often been called "Geometric Data Analysis." It includes methods such as Correspondence Analysis (CA), Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and versions of Euclidean Classification. In the social sciences the most well known application is multiple correspondence analyses of the distribution of individuals and properties within "social fields" in Bourdieu's sense, but the tradition has much more to offer.

Brigitte Le Roux and Henry Rouanet have not only been the most prominent trustees of Jean-Paul Benzécri's scholarly heritage. They have also made significant contributions of their own—such as "specific multiple correspondence analysis" and the visualisation programme EyeLID—that are used in current research, particularly by social scientists inspired by the works by Pierre Bourdieu and his collaborators. Outside France, Brigitte Le Roux and Henry Rouanet themselves have been engaged in the lifestyle study in the United Kingdom, in the Norwegian study on power and in ongoing research on the Swedish field of higher education and on Swedish students in Paris and New York. They belonged to Pierre Bourdieu's close collaborators during his last years. They did for example take part in the Bourdieu's last empirical study, on the French field of publishers (reported in Actes, no 126-127, March 1999).

Another guest teacher will be Philippe Bonnet, a CNRS social psychologist and statistician at the Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology Laboratory of Paris Descartes University (LPNCog), who during many years collaborated with H. Rouanet and B. Le Roux.

Jean Chiche holds a PhD in mathematical statistics at Université Pierre et Marie Curie) and is a CNRS statistical analyst and methodologist at the CEVIPOF, Scences-Po, Paris. His research interests focus on three areas: electoral behaviour and elections, methodology (opinion polls, surveys, public opinion), statistics and more precisely the geometric analysis of data.

Frédéric Lebaron is professor of sociology at Université de Picardie-Jules Verne à Amiens. He is the head of the Centre universitaire de recherches sur l’action publique et le politique - épistémologie et sciences sociales (CURAPP-ESS).
