Test Value


This is a statistical measure which T-LAB uses to help in the understanding of the poles of factors detected through the correspondence analysis.

This measure has two significant properties: a threshold value (1.96), corresponding to the statistical significance more commonly used (p. 0.05), and a sign (-/+).

This means that, after sorting the values in an ascending or descending order (it depends if the values on the positive or the negative pole are considered), it is possible to quickly single out the weight of each factor on the factorial axis, and then its overall meaning.

T-LAB allows a Test Value table consultation in an interactive way.


The Test Value computation formula is reported in one of the Bibliography books: Lebart L., Morineau A., Piron M. (1995).
