The CORRESP Procedure

The SUPPLEMENTARY statement specifies variables that are to be represented as points in the joint row and column space but that are not used in determining the locations of the other, active row and column points of the contingency table. Supplementary observations on supplementary variables are ignored in simple correspondence analysis but are needed to compute the squared cosines for multiple correspondence analysis. Variables that are specified in the SUPPLEMENTARY statement must also be specified in the TABLES or VAR statement.

When you specify a VAR statement, each SUPPLEMENTARY variable indicates one supplementary column of the table. Supplementary variables must be numeric with VAR statement input.

When you specify a TABLES statement, each SUPPLEMENTARY variable indicates a set of rows or columns of the table that is supplementary. Supplementary variables can be either character or numeric with TABLES statement input.
