- use knowledge about the most common multivariate methods
- display good understanding of major principles for interpretation and assessment of multivariate models

The course provides basic skills for professional work with statistical problems with several correlated random variables.
Multivariate normal distributions. Distributions of quadratic forms. Confidence regions and test. Principal components
analysis. Factor analysis. Discriminant analysis. Cluster analysis. Canonical correlation. Multidimensional
scaling.
Teaching and working methods
Computer exercises in which the students have access to supervision provide practical experience of data analysis. The teaching comprises lectures and computer exercises.
Examination
The course is examined by exercises and by an oral or a written exam.
If special circumstances prevail, and if it is possible with consideration of the nature of the compulsory component, the examiner may decide to replace the compulsory component with another equivalent component.
If the LiU coordinator for students with disabilities has granted a student the right to an adapted examination for a written examination in an examination hall, the student has the right to it.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.
