In this course are introduced the basic concepts of multivariate analysis as an extension of univariate statistical analysis. Exploratory methods are discussed, classification and analysis of the interdependence of nature multivariate data. Study of some examples with software.

E-learning
Evaluation is made on individual basis and it involves the coexistence of two modes: continuous assessment (60%) and
final evaluation (40%). Further information is detailed in the Learning Agreement of the course unit.
Are prerequisites for the monitoring of UC knowledge of Linear Algebra, Descriptive Statistics and Statistical Inference. The Universidade Aberta provides a license to use the software IBM SPSS at no additional cost to the student, if this is the software chosen. Other software will be Open Access.
