French term

éboulis des valeurs propres

French to English Social Sciences Mathematics & Statistics taxonomy
context: statistical taxonomic document

Here are 2 of the sentences where this term occurs:
On souhaite maintenant réaliser l'éboulis des valeurs propres de l'A.C.P. On rappelle que
l'éboulis des valeurs propres est un graphique comportant en abscisses les dimensions de l'A.C.P.
(1, 2, 3...) et en ordonnées les valeurs propres correspondantes.

Représentations sur les deux premiers axes. Éboulis des valeurs propres. Nuage des variables actives. Nuage des variables supplémentaires. Nuage des individus regroupés en trois classes par HCPC.

Please can any one help me with this?
It has nothing to do with mountains or 'éboulis' in the usual sense of the word. But as you can see from the above definition it is a type of graph. It is used in taxonomy as well.

scree plot of eigenvalues

It is nicely explained here, including the analogy with "real" scree
