Abstract
We show the equivalence of using correspondence analysis of concatenated tables and a particular algorithm of conjoint analysis named categorical conjoint measurement. The connection is made using canonical correlation. However, although we have proved that equivalence, the standard practice of conjoint analyses to focus in one dimension (the optimal solution) has some shortcomings once we introduce interaction effects. In that case, the use of visual techniques, like correspondence analysis, provides a faster and easier way to compile the preference structure. Finally, we provide an application of our setting making use of an experiment of perfumes where interaction effects between type of essences and strength of essences are shown.
