Objectives of the Course
Using statistical package program to analyze data and reporting the results. To introduce the concepts and methods of multivariate statistical analysis and to provide exercises in the application of multivariate data analysis to related problems. Analyzing and interpreting data is important in decision processes under uncertainty. Therefore, under which circumstances multivariate statistical techniques are used, what the assumptions of these techniques and how to interpret the results of these techniques are scopes of this course. This course will help all students to understand and use these advanced techniques who are in need of analyzing data.
