Introduction to Multivariate Analysis

Overview of Multivariate Techniques

This book describes the following techniques for analyzing several variables simultaneously:

• The Multivariate platform examines multiple variables to see how they relate to each other. See Chapter 3, “Correlations and Multivariate Techniques”.

• The Principal Components platform derives a small number of independent linear combinations (principal components) of a set of measured variables that capture as much of the variability in the original variables as possible. It is a useful exploratory technique and can help you to create predictive models. See Chapter 4, “Principal Components”.

• The Discriminant platform looks to find a way to predict a classification ...
