Abstract
This course takes a modern, data-analytic approach to the multivariate data. Multivariate data analysis (MVA) encompasses statistical techniques that are used to analyze several variables at once. The course covers some basic notions of statistics with the development into several domains: cluster analysis, principle component analysis, factor analysis, canonical corelation analysis, discriminant analysis. All the topic of the course are supplemented by the examples of MVA application to different types of data. This course serves as an important prerequisite for the course in structural equation modeling.
Learning Objectives
- The goal of the course is to ensure that students understand topics and principles of applied linear models on an advanced level.
- The course gives students an important foundation to develop and conduct their own research as well as to evaluate research of others.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Have the skill to work with statistical software, required to analyze the data.
- Be able to develop and/or foster critical reviewing skills of published empirical research using applied statistical methods.
- Have the skill to meaningfully develop an appropriate model for the research question.
- Be able to criticize constructively and determine existing issues with applied linear models in published work.
- Be able to explore the advantages and disadvantages of various linear modeling instruments, and demonstrate how they relate to other methods of analysis.
- Be able to work with major linear modeling programs, especially R and SAS, so that they can use them and interpret their output.
- Have an understanding of advanced methods of linear models and related multivariate extensions.
- Know complex methods of aggregating data and dimensionality reduction.
- Know innovative, effective methods for presenting the results from statistical investigations of empirical data.
- Know new insights into the regression analysis.
- Know various modern extensions to the traditional linear model.
