Introduction

The FactoMineR package is a package dedicated to exploratory multivariate data analysis using R. One of the main reasons for developing this package is that we felt a need for a multivariate approach closer to our practice via: the introduction of ``supplementary'' information; the use of a more geometrical point of view than the one usually adopted by most of the Anglo-American practitioners. Another reason is that obviously it represents a convenient way to implement new methodologies (or methodologies dedicated to the advanced practitioner) as the ones we're presenting thereafter that take into account different structure on the data such as: a partition on the variables; a partition on the individuals; * a hierarchy structure on the variables.

You can see more information about the package with the paper published in the Journal of Statistical Software: http://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v025i01/
