Learning Outcomes

After completing the course the student is able to choose, apply and analyze the results of common multivariate statistical methods. Since the course is mainly a self-study course, the student may choose the material to emphasize application areas of specific interest. The student will also be familiar with the multivariate modelling tools in a statistical program (MATLAB, JMP, R or some such). Nowadays these methods form a long-standing, well-researched and much used toolbox, and therefore it is simply not possible to include outcomes for them all within a single course. Completing the course the student nevertheless should be able the generalize and extend the skills.
