Multivariate Data Analysis - -deals with statistical analysis of observations where there are multiple responses on each observational unit
-a single variable - -MDA models reality where each situation, product, or decision involves more than _____
-process the information in a meaningful fashion - -Multivariate Analysis can be used to ___
-1. Consumer and market research
2. Quality control and assurance
3. Process optimization and process control
4. Research and development - -Uses of MVDA
-Principle Component Analysis/Factor Analysis - -obtain a summary or an overview of a table
identify the dominant patterns in the data such as groups, outliers, trends, and so on
-Principal Component Analysis - -a class of procedures used for data reduction and summarization
-interdependence technique - -PCA is an _____: no distinction between dependent and independent variables
-1. to identify underlying dimensions, or factors, that explain the correlations among a set of variables
2. to identify a new, smaller, set of uncorrelated variables to replace the original set of correlated variables - -Uses of Factor Analysis
-Bartlett's test of sphericity - -is used to test the hypothesis that the variables are uncorrelated in the population
-Correlation Matrix - -is a lower triangle matrix showing the simple correlations between all possible pairs of variables included in the analysis
-1 - -diagonal element are all ___
-Communality - -amount of variance a variable shares with all the other variables
-Eigenvalue - -represents the total variance explained by each factor
-Factor loadings - -correlations between the variables and the factors
-Factor Matrix - -contains the factor loadings of all the variables on all the factors
-Factor Scores - -composite scores estimated for each respondent on the derived factors
-Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy - -used to examine the appropriateness of factor analysis.
0.5-1: appropriatness
Below 0.5: inapproriateness
-Percentage of Variance - -The percentage of total variance attributed to each factor
-Scree plots - -plot of the eigenvalues against the number of factors in order of extraction
-Classification and Discriminant Analysis - -analyze groups in the table, how these groups differ, and to which group individual table rows belong
-Discriminant Analysis - -used to determine which variables discriminate between two or more naturally occuring groups
very similar to ANOVA
-Multiple Regression Analysis or Partial Least Squares - -finds relationships between columns in data tables
to use one set of variables to predict another, for the purpose of optimization
