## Decomposition of inertia (i.e. contributions) in multivariate methods

### Description

Computes the decomposition of inertia to measure the contributions of row and/or columns in multivariate methods

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'dudi'
    inertia(x, row.inertia = FALSE, col.inertia = FALSE, ...)
    ## S3 method for class 'inertia'
    print(x, ...)
    ## S3 method for class 'inertia'
    summary(object, sort.axis = 1, subset = 5, ...)

### Arguments

`x, object` | a duality diagram, object of class `dudi` for `inertia.dudi`. An object of class `inertia` for the methods `print` and `summary`
`row.inertia` | if TRUE, returns the decomposition of inertia for the rows
`col.inertia` | if TRUE, returns the decomposition of inertia for the columns
`sort.axis` | the kept axis used to sort the contributions in decreasing order
`subset` | the number of rows and/or columns to display in the summary
`...` | further arguments passed to or from other methods

### Details

Contributions are printed in percentage and the sign is the sign of the coordinates

### Value

An object of class `inertia`, i.e. a list containing :

`tot.inertia` | repartition of the total inertia between axes
`row.contrib` | contributions of the rows to the total inertia
`row.abs` | absolute contributions of the rows (i.e. decomposition per axis)
`row.rel` | relative contributions of the rows
`row.cum` | cumulative relative contributions of the rows (i.e. decomposition per row)
`col.contrib` | contributions of the columns to the total inertia
`col.abs` | absolute contributions of the columns (i.e. decomposition per axis)
`col.rel` | relative contributions of the columns
`col.cum` | cumulative relative contributions of the columns (i.e. decomposition per column)
`nf` | the number of kept axes
