I am severely rusty re. multivariate / ordination analysis, having done my last work 40 years ago (in plant ecology).
I am interested in exploring applications of multivariate analytic approaches to data from the history of motion picture films.
I'd very much appreciate any pointers as to possibly appropriate proceedures.
The individual "samples" may be individual films and the measurements may be the presence and absence of actors and production personel; for example two films with many actors and / or crew in common would be located close together in the resultant ordination, while films with few or no personel in common would be located far apart.
May I express my appreciation in advance to any helpful recipients.
cordially
David Woods
