Level of Study:Undergraduate
Course Coordinator:Prof.Dr. BARIŞ SÜRÜCÜ
Offered Semester:Spring Semesters.

Course Objectives

The proposed course will introduce the fundamental methodology to analyze, model and make inference of multivariate data under parametric approaches. Moreover it presents different techniques in order to decrease the dimension of these data if the computation is untractable.


Course Content

MANOVA. Principal components, factor analysis. Multivariate classification and clustering. Canonical correlation.
Prerequisite: STAT 465


Course Learning Outcomes

- Model high dimensional data via linear regression models
- Inference and model checking in this type of regression models
- Present the methods to summary the data if the dimension of the data is high. This part includes a number of approaches from the principal component analyses to discrimination and classification methods.
