Figure 3 Map created by the first and second factors derived from the multiple correspondence analysis. Black dots in the plane represent the categories of the illustrative variable “subtypes of diagnosis according to compensatory behaviour and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV classification”. Grey dots represent the categories of the illustrative variable “subtype of diagnosis according to compensatory behaviour”. The relative positions of the patients in this plane are represented by different colours, depending on the type derived from the cluster.
