MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS
STA3MA

Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Most statistical problems involve many variables and therefore multivariate data analysis has an enormous range of applications. After reviewing key aspects of statistical methods for one variable and multiple regression, students are introduced to common multivariate statistical methods: screening and describing multivariate data, principal component analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis and logistic regression. En route, you will encounter the multivariate Normal distribution, learn about matrix algebra and how to use SPSS for multivariate data analysis.
