Applying Correspondence Analysis for NLP in Base R

 

Example: Applying Correspondence Analysis for NLP in Base R

Dataset: Term-Document Matrix

We have a hypothetical term-document matrix representing word frequencies across three documents:

	Doc1	Doc2	Doc3
Apple	3	0	2
Banana	1	4	0
Cherry	0	5	1
Date	2	0	3
Elderberry	0	1	4

---

Step-by-Step Code in R

1. Create the Term-Document Matrix

R
# Create a term-document matrix
terms <- c("Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Date", "Elderberry")
Doc1 <- c(3, 1, 0, 2, 0)
Doc2 <- c(0, 4, 5, 0, 1)
Doc3 <- c(2, 0, 1, 3, 4)

# Combine into a matrix
term_doc_matrix <- matrix(c(Doc1, Doc2, Doc3), nrow = 5, byrow = FALSE)
rownames(term_doc_matrix) <- terms
colnames(term_doc_matrix) <- c("Doc1", "Doc2", "Doc3")

# View the matrix
print(term_doc_matrix)

---

2. Install and Load the Required Package

Base R does not directly support CA, so we use the ca package. If not installed, install it using:

R
install.packages("ca")

Load the package:

R
library(ca)

---

3. Apply Correspondence Analysis

R
# Perform Correspondence Analysis
ca_result <- ca(term_doc_matrix)

# Print the CA summary
summary(ca_result)

---

4. Visualize the Results

R
# Plot the Correspondence Analysis results
plot(ca_result, main = "Correspondence Analysis: Term-Document Matrix")

This plot shows the reduced 2D space where:

• Terms (words) and documents are plotted.
• Words close to a document are more associated with it.

---

5. Interpret the Results

The CA output includes:

1. Row Coordinates (terms): Indicates how words are distributed across documents.
2. Column Coordinates (documents): Indicates the relationship of documents to terms.
3. Eigenvalues: Indicates how much variance each dimension explains.

---

Extension: Use CA Results in AI

Extract Coordinates for Machine Learning

The CA results can be used as features in AI models.

R
# Extract row (terms) and column (documents) coordinates
term_coordinates <- ca_result$rowcoord
doc_coordinates <- ca_result$colcoord

# View term coordinates
print(term_coordinates)

# View document coordinates
print(doc_coordinates)

These coordinates represent terms and documents in a reduced-dimensional space (e.g., 2D). They can be fed into clustering or classification models.

Determining the Disability Index from Census Data

An Index of Disability is a composite measure that quantifies the prevalence and impact of disabilities in a population. By analyzing census data, you can calculate this index to identify disparities and prioritize interventions. Below is a step-by-step guide:

---

1. Data Extraction

From the Census of India, extract the following key data points:

• Total Population (TP): The total number of people in a given region (state, district, village).
• Disabled Population (DP): The total number of people with disabilities.
• Types of Disabilities (TD): Breakdown of disabilities (e.g., visual, hearing, speech, locomotor, intellectual, multiple disabilities).
• Age Groups (AG): Distribution of disabilities among children (e.g., 0–6 years, 6–18 years).
• Geographic Distribution (GD): Rural and urban segregation for spatial analysis.

---

2. Key Metrics to Calculate

(a) Disability Prevalence Rate (DPR):

Measures the proportion of the population with disabilities.

$$\text{DPR} = \left( \frac{\text{Disabled Population (DP)}}{\text{Total Population (TP)}} \right) \times 100$$

Example: If a district has 10,000 disabled individuals in a population of 1,00,000:

$$\text{DPR} = \left( \frac{10,000}{1,00,000} \right) \times 100 = 10\%$$

(b) Disability Severity Index (DSI):

Assign weights to different disability types based on their severity or impact on daily functioning (e.g., intellectual disabilities may have a higher weight than speech impairments).

$$\text{DSI} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( \text{Weight}_i \times \frac{\text{Population with Disability Type}_i}{\text{Total Disabled Population}} \right)$$

Example: Assign weights as follows:

• Locomotor: 0.4
• Visual: 0.3
• Hearing: 0.2
• Intellectual: 0.5
  If the population distribution is:
• Locomotor: 4,000
• Visual: 3,000
• Hearing: 2,000
• Intellectual: 1,000
  Then:

$$\text{DSI} = (0.4 \times \frac{4,000}{10,000}) + (0.3 \times \frac{3,000}{10,000}) + (0.2 \times \frac{2,000}{10,000}) + (0.5 \times \frac{1,000}{10,000})$$ $$\text{DSI} = 0.16 + 0.09 + 0.04 + 0.05 = 0.34$$

(c) Child Disability Index (CDI):

Focuses on the prevalence of disabilities among children aged 0–18.

$$\text{CDI} = \left( \frac{\text{Disabled Children Population (DCP)}}{\text{Total Child Population (TCP)}} \right) \times 100$$

(d) Geographic Disability Index (GDI):

Measures rural-urban disparities in disability prevalence.

$$\text{GDI} = \frac{\text{DPR (Rural)}}{\text{DPR (Urban)}}$$

A GDI > 1 indicates higher disability prevalence in rural areas.

---

3. Composite Index of Disability (CID)

To create a single index combining the above metrics, assign weights to each component based on policy priorities:

$$\text{CID} = (w_1 \times \text{DPR}) + (w_2 \times \text{DSI}) + (w_3 \times \text{CDI}) + (w_4 \times \text{GDI})$$

Where $w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4$ are weights that sum to 1. For instance:

• $w_1 = 0.3$: Priority on overall disability prevalence.
• $w_2 = 0.3$: Severity of disability.
• $w_3 = 0.2$: Focus on children.
• $w_4 = 0.2$: Geographic disparities.

---

4. Steps for Analysis

1. Data Input: Organize census data into categories (e.g., population, disability types, regions, age groups).
2. Calculation: Use Excel or statistical tools (e.g., SPSS, R, or Python) to compute the metrics above.
3. GIS Mapping: Overlay the calculated indices on geographic maps to visualize high-disability areas.
4. Interpretation: Identify trends, hotspots, and gaps in policy implementation.

---

5. Applications

• Policy Formulation: Use CID to allocate resources efficiently to high-need areas.
• Monitoring Progress: Track changes over time in disability prevalence and disparities.
• Program Targeting: Design interventions focused on regions or groups with high indices (e.g., rural disabled children).

Disability index

 India's disability census data provides vital insights into the demographic, geographic, and socio-economic conditions of persons with disabilities. Below are suggestions for reliable and widely recognized sources for conducting a disability census or using disability data for analysis:

Measures the proportion of the population with disabilities.

$$\text{DPR} = \left( \frac{\text{Disabled Population (DP)}}{\text{Total Population (TP)}} \right) \times 100$$

Example: If a district has 10,000 disabled individuals in a population of 1,00,000:

$$\text{CDI} = \left( \frac{\text{Disabled Children Population (DCP)}}{\text{Total Child Population (TCP)}} \right) \times 100$$

(d) Geographic Disability Index (GDI):

Measures rural-urban disparities in disability prevalence.

$$\text{GDI} = \frac{\text{DPR (Rural)}}{\text{DPR (Urban)}}$$

A GDI > 1 indicates higher disability prevalence in rural areas.

---

3. Composite Index of Disability (CID)

To create a single index combining the above metrics, assign weights to each component based on policy priorities:

$$\text{CID} = (w_1 \times \text{DPR}) + (w_2 \times \text{DSI}) + (w_3 \times \text{CDI}) + (w_4 \times \text{GDI})$$

Where $w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4$ are weights that sum to 1. For instance:

• $w_1 = 0.3$: Priority on overall disability prevalence.
• $w_2 = 0.3$: Severity of disability.
