\title{ Function to perform a test of dimensionality}
\description{
This functions allow to test for the number of axes in multivariate analysis. The
procedure \code{testdim.pca} implements a method for principal component analysis on
correlation matrix. The procedure is based on the computation of the RV coefficient.
}
\usage{
testdim(object, ...)
\method{testdim}{pca}(object, nrepet = 99, nbax = object$rank, alpha = 0.05, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{ an object corresponding to an analysis (e.g. duality diagram, an object of class \code{dudi})}
\item{nrepet}{ the number of repetitions for the permutation procedure}
\item{nbax}{ the number of axes to be tested, by default all axes}
\item{alpha}{ the significance level}
\item{\dots}{ other arguments}
}
\value{
An object of the class \code{krandtest}. It contains also:
\item{nb}{The estimated number of axes to keep}
\item{nb.cor}{The number of axes to keep estimated using a sequential Bonferroni
procedure}
}
