Multivariate Statistical Analysis Fall 2023
Division III Quantative/Formal Reasoning

To better understand complex processes, we study how variables are related to one another, and how they work in combination. In addition, we want to make inferences about more than one variable at a time. Elementary statistical methods might not apply. In this course, we study the tools and the intuition that is necessary to analyze and describe such datasets with more than multiple variables. Topics covered will include data visualization techniques for high dimensional data sets, parametric and non-parametric techniques to estimate joint distributions, techniques for combining variables and making inferences, and several classification and clustering algorithms.
