• It allows missing data.

• "Num.factors" is the place where the user puts the N parameters.

The user has to write "-1" when he does not want to reduce the correponding mode (Tucker2/1 ).

• "OK" button executes Tucker model.A default plot is returned after run (unless an information appears). The other plots are available in the menu "results".
• "bootstrap" button excutes Tucker model on original and resampled (by bootstrap) data. The user will obtain the same plot as preceeding, but with a bootstrap estimation of stability of the model (convex hulls, etc...). Available only for 3D!
• "Preprocessing" button opens a new window, see below.
• "Postprocessing" button opens a new window, see below.
• "close" button closes the window.
• Validation window:(Available only for 3D!)The global stability of the model is estimated for different parameters between
  [1 1 1] and "num. factors" number. After having chosen the maximal parameters, the user has to click on the "OK" button. A surface is plotted .

post-processing window:

Tucker solutions are subspaces:we can choose the basis of these subspaces , in order to have the most interpretable solution. Basis can be found in order to maximise different criteria.

• maximise the diagonale of the core (when the core is cubic)
• maximise the slice-wise diagonale of the core (when the 2 first dimensions of the core are equal.
• maximise thesquared variance of the core.
• No rotation:default, i.e. Singular Value Decomposition of the columns of the loadings.

Tucker options:

It is used to affect parameters of the Tucker algorithm.

Bootstrap options:

• Bootstrap model : naive (resampling the horizontal slabs of X) and residual (resampling the horizontal slabs of the residuals of Tucker(X)).
• Bootstrap replicates: Number of replicates.
