Course Description

The course is intended to serve as a guide to the principles, assumptions, strengths, limitations, and application of multivariate methods for business analysts and students. This course introduces concepts essential to understanding the rationale of multivariate data analysis. It reviews basic statistical principles and techniques that form the foundation for learning about multivariate methods. It covers most of the core techniques currently used in multivariate analysis. Data evaluation, identification of suitablemodels, estimation methods, and evaluation of the models are explained with examples. Many examples of the application of multivariate methods to the problems in various business domains, including marketing, retail sales, human resource management, operations and supply chain management, finance, and general management.

Course Outcomes& Learning levels

This course aims to provide a comprehensive background in multivariate data analysis. At the end of this course, the students

1. Will be able to explore and pre-process multivariate data in an informed, disciplined way.
2. Will be able to avoid common mistakes in the use of multivariate methods and therebymove toward more sound, correct practices in all phases of the analysis.
3. Will be able to use multivariate models intelligently and get as much out of its application aspossible
4. Will be able to demonstrate the application of multivariate techniques using R and Python inan effective manner.
