Biostatistics - Multivariate Statistics

Catalog description

This course will introduce the theory and methods of applied multivariate analysis. As the field of multivariate analysis is very wide and well developed, the course will focus on those methods that are more frequently used in biostatistical applications. Some knowledge of basic matrix algebra is necessary and will be reviewed as the course progresses. Theoretical exercises and analysis of data sets will be assigned to the student. Emphasis will be on biostatistical applications. Prerequisite: BIOS 820, BIOS 830, and BIOS 840, or by permission of the instructor.
