Hi,all:
I want to perform multiple correspondance analysis via MCA{FactoMineR}.
The data is in the attachment.

My code:
dat<-read.delim("e:\\mydata.txt",header=T)
MCA(dat,quanti.sup=7,quali.sup=1:6)
Error in `[.data.frame`(tab, , i) : undefined columns selected
 
My question:
Why does the error happen?
 
Many thanks.

Best.

Probably because you have defined all of the variables as
supplemental. These will then be estimated from the other variables,
but there are no other variables.
