Hi there,
I am somewhat confused regarding the interpretation of the code maps. I tried to find answers in the manual but it did not help.
Let me explain my problem:
The map presents two types of variables: distance between codes and line width.
As for the distance, the manual says that "The more two codes overlap, i.e. the more similar they are in terms of their use in the data, the closer they are placed together on the map."
This implies that the more intersections the two codes have, they will appear closer on the map, right?
But, at the manual also says regarding the lines that connect the codes: "connecting lines between the codes can be activated, which indicate where (and how often) similarities between two codes have been identified".
So, what is the difference between "how often similarities between two codes have been identified" (line width) and the "number of times two codes have been assigned to a segment together".
Thanks a lot!
