Re: New function

[Michel Boaventura]

Sorry but I don't understand. Supose that I have a variable V1 who is
categorical and
have three values, 'a','b' and 'c', and another variable V2 who isn't
categorical.
If I have a matrix M like:

M =
1 'a'
2 'c'
3 'b'
2 'b'
5 'c'
4 'a'
1 'c'

How did I use binary vectors to make svd(M)? Because if I choose random values
to represents a,b and c, for each value I will get a different svd.
