Hi
I have a problem with understanding the output of an FAMD analysis. The data file and the results are shown below

Data

Graph of individuals

Graph of quantitative variables

I understand the position of some of the individuals, however, the position of some individuals are weird. For example

V2( P7 ) = 48.1
V2( P8 ) = 51.7
V2( P13 ) = 14.6

Since the direction of V2 is toward positive y-axis, I expect that the position of P7, P8 and P13 on the y-axis will be like P13<P7<P8.
However, the order according to the graph of individuals is P13<P8<P7.

I wonder why P8 is below P7 while it has a higher V2 value.
Any thoughts on that?  How that can be explained?



Regards,
Mahmood
