# Multiple Correspondence / Correlation Analysis

I'm a little bit new to statistics, so I'm not sure what I really need.

I have a table like the following with some categorical/nominal values (like Gender and Age Group) and a ratio scaled value (DropOut, which is the week after registration in which a person dropped out of the program [so it's never zero or less] and it is not the Calendar Week):

I want to analyze which AgeGroups and Genders (and maybe more categorical values) are most likely to drop out early.

I want to solve this problem in R. Maybe you can give me some hints how to do this or you already have a concrete approach. :)

Thanks.

• I believe the data you posted above does not have age and gender information of students who didn't leave the course, to the contrary it only has data of only those students who left the course? If yes, do you have age and gender data of students who didn't drop out from the course? your response to these 2 questions will give me direction for best possible solution. – Enthusiast Feb 12 '16 at 13:16
• This is a good point you mentioned and you're right, the above table only contains students who left the course. But actually I have all the data and can aggregate them however it's best for the analysis. So I also have the age and gender data of students, who didn't drop out AND how much weeks they are already in the course (without dropping out). @MdAzimulHaque – ScientiaEtVeritas Feb 12 '16 at 13:41
• Why not ordinal regression with DropOut as response? – kjetil b halvorsen Mar 12 at 9:34
