General information

Time: Start Monday, Sept 11th, 2006 at 10:15. End Friday, Sept 15th at 17:00.
Location: Seminariegatan 1, Uppsala.

Language: English.

The course is taught by:
Brigitte Le Roux, Henry Rouanet, and Philippe Bonnet, Université René Descartes, Paris;
Frédéric Lebaron, l’Université d’Amiens;
Mikael Börjesson and Donald Broady, Uppsala University.

Secretary: Marie Ols <marie.ols@ilu.uu.se>, phone 018-4715883, room 3248.
For further information, contact Mikael Börjesson <mikael.borjesson@ilu.uu.se>, Phone work +46 18-4716254, phone home +46 8-6444957, or Donald Broady <broady@nada.kth.se>.

Those who have attended our earlier courses on geometric data analysis and correspondence analysis are welcome to participate also in this one. Much new stuff will be offered.

Course materials are available at the SEC's BSCW-server (and also on web links below). At the start of the course the participants will receive login information, as well as user licenses for the French statistical package SPAD.

We recommend the use of SPAD version 6.5 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.spadsoft.com/. For more information please contact Mikael Börjesson <mikael.borjesson@edu.uu.se>

Each participant is asked to bring their own portable computer with the statistical package SPSS installed and a not to 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 mathematicians Brigitte Le Roux and Henry Rouanet are affiliated to Université René Descartes, Paris. Their major book Geometric Data Analysis. From Correspondence Analysis to Structured Data Analysis (Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, June 2004, 487 p., ISBN 1-4020-2236-0) will be frequently used during the course. Two other guest teachers will be Philippe Bonnet, statistician and during many years collaborator to M. Rouanet and Mme Le Roux, and Frédéric Lebaron, professor in sociology at the university of Amiens.

Today Henry Rouanet and Brigitte Le Roux are world leading specialists 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.

M. Rouanet and Mme Le Roux are not only 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 Mme Le Roux and M. Rouanet themselves are engaged 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. Professor Lebaron's work includes studies on the field of French economists, on Riksbankens pris i ekonomi till Alfred Nobels minne, and a prosopograhic study on the directors of the national banks in different countries. All three belonged to Pierre Bourdieu's close collaborators during his last years. M. Rouanet and Mme Le Roux did for example take part in one of Bourdieu's last empirical studies, on the French field of editors (reported in Actes, no 126-127, March 1999).
