Suppose this is a blog, traditionally speaking; a diary, a place to keep notes and thoughts on past/upcoming events, my character and life lessons I’ve learned. At the end, add vanity (ματαιοδοξία, in Greek) as an important ingredient, otherwise, I’d have written down everything in a diary and kept it locked in a drawer.

After this prologue I can safely present some notes on my upcoming research in the field of (mostly Multivariate) Data Analysis:

I plan to…

• …further study the theoretical aspects of Correspondence Analysis and Related Methods, or simply CARME and particularly examine the parametrization which embeds different methods into a common super-family, which according to M. Greenacre can be useful as a tuning parameter in supervised learning if there is an outcome variable.
• …analyze, explore and interpret data from social sciences and humanities, as well as from machine learning approaches, such as Collaborative Filtering.
• …develop data analysis software that is reasonably comprehensive, fairly easy to use and free as in freedom. After the CHIC Analysis software, I’m experimenting with Tcl/Tk and R in order to build a package which implements a graphical user interface for the ca package of Nenadic & Greenacre.

Not boring enough?
