mda.biber: Functions for Multi-Dimensional Analysis

Multi-Dimensional Analysis (MDA) is an adaptation of factor analysis developed by Douglas Biber (1992) <doi:10.1007/BF00136979>. Its most common use is to describe language as it varies by genre, register, and use. This package contains functions for carrying out the calculations needed to describe and plot MDA results: dimension scores, dimension means, and factor loadings.
