چکیده

The application of equality constraints on the categories of a variable is a simple but useful extension of multiple correspondence analysis. Equality can be used to incorporate prior knowledge about the relations between categories. Categories may belong to the same variable, to different variables, or both. The simplest form of equality specifies that all variables receive identical data transforms. This is useful, for example, if the same variable is measured on many points of time. This article outlines a procedure to deal with unequal category numbers and with subsets of variables. Though the technical results are not difficult to derive, they are not very well-known. Some applications illustrate the method.

On Equality Up-to Constraints over Finite Trees, Context Unification, and One-Step Rewriting

We introduce equality up-to constraints over nite trees and investigate their expressiveness. Equality up-to constraints subsume equality constraints, subtree constraints, and one-step rewriting constraints. We establish a close correspondence between equality up-to constraints over nite trees and context uniication. Context uniication subsumes string uniication and is subsumed by linear second...

Entailment with Conditional Equality Constraints ( Extended

Equality constraints (unification constraints) have widespread use in program analysis, most notably in static polymorphic type systems. Conditional equality constraints extend equality constraints with a weak form of subtyping to allow for more accurate analyses. We give a complete complexity characterization of the various entailment problems for conditional equality constraints and for a nat...

The Complexity of Entailment Problems over Conditional Equality Constraints ?

Equality constraints (a.k.a. unification constraints) have widespread use in static program analysis, most notably in static polymorphic type systems. Conditional equality constraints extend equality constraints with a weak form of subtyping to allow more accurate analyses and more expressive type systems. In this paper, we present a complete complexity characterization of the various entailmen...
