Notes: AC = absolute contributions in 1/10,000. RC = relative contributions (r2 × 10,000). Bold = the absolute and relative contributions of discriminate variables to axis. Eigenvalue and percentage of total inertia explained by the individual factor axes, cumulative percentage, and percentage of variables' contributions to each axis are listed. F1: eigenvalue = 0.26503, relative inertia = 24.52%, cumulative = 24.52%; F2: eigenvalue = 0.15961, relative inertia = 14.77%, cumulative = 39.29%; F3: eigenvalue = 0.11637, relative inertia = 10.77%, cumulative = 50.06%; F4: eigenvalue = 0.08016, relative inertia = 7.42%, cumulative = 57.48%.
