Kurs Açıklaması

When working with data that contains many variables, we are often interested in studying the relationship between these variables using multivariate statistics. In this course, you'll learn ways to analyze these datasets. You will also learn about common multivariate probability distributions, including the multivariate normal, the multivariate-t, and some multivariate skew distributions. You will then be introduced to techniques for representing high dimensional data in fewer dimensions, including principal component analysis (PCA) and multidimensional scaling (MDS).

Önkoşullar

Foundations of Probability in R

1

Reading and plotting multivariate data

In this introduction to multivariate data, you will learn how to read and summarize it. You will learn how to summarize multivariate data using descriptive statistics, such as the mean vector, variance-covariance, and correlation matrices. You'll then explore plotting techniques to provide insights into multivariate data.

Multivariate Normal Distribution

This chapter will introduce you to the most important and widely used multivariate probability distribution, the multivariate normal. You will learn how to generate random samples from a multivariate normal distribution and how to calculate and plot the densities and probabilities under this distribution. You will also learn how to test if a dataset follows multivariate normality.

Multivariate normal distribution

Other Multivariate Distributions

This chapter introduces a host of probability distributions to model non-normal data. In particular, you will be introduced to multivariate t-distributions, which can model heavier tails and are a generalization of the univariate Student's t-distribution. You will be introduced to various skew distributions, which are specifically designed to model data that are right or left skewed.

Other common Multivariate distributions

Generate samples from multivariate t-distribution

Identify the distribution

Density and cumulative density for multivariate-t

Density of multivariate t-distribution

Cumulative distributions and quantiles of t

Comparing normal and t probabilities

Multivariate skewed distributions

Drawing samples from skew distributions

Plotting and testing of skewed-densities

Examine skewness from contour plot

Principal Component Analysis and Multidimensional Scaling

In the final chapter, you will be introduced to techniques for analyzing high dimensional data, including principal component analysis (PCA) and multidimensional scaling (MDS). You will also learn to implement these techniques by analyzing data.

Principal Component Analysis

Number of PCs for the state.x77 dataset
