abstract: A toolkit for performing Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) based on
  the phi-divergence framework of Cressie and Read (1984) <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2517-6161.1984.tb01318.x>.
  Provides implementations for MCA computation mca_analysis(), visualization plot_mca(),
  and symbolic equation generation generate_mca_equation(), designed for interpretability,
  flexibility, and analytical consistency with generalized divergence measures.
