Overview

Multivariate Statistics studies the joint distribution of two or more random variables.

Many procedures rely on the multivariate normal distribution. As in univariate statistics, differences between two or more groups of observations are examined (discriminant analysis), and effects of explanatory variables on several target variables are modeled (regression). In addition, there are methods for reducing dimension (principal component analysis, ordination) and formation of groups (cluster analysis).

The course gives an overview of problems and methods. A selection will be treated more in depth.

Lecture notes

There will be no script to this lecture, but slides for the lecture presentations can be downloaded each Monday noon (12:00) from here.

Slides:

Video Tutorials

We offer short video tutorials on how to use R to apply the methods mentioned in the lecture. Note, that this is still at an experimental stage - feedback is welcome!

Datasets are either in the above folder or in the folder for data sets.

Information about R

Literature

The whole two books are available online via nebis.

Exam

It will be an oral exam (30min). You have to be abel to solve case studies in R on a computer and explain different concepts of multivariate statistics seen in the lecture. You may bring a one page summary (DIN A4, text on both sides).
