This unit consists of two modules concerned with the structure of multivariate data, one analytical, the other graphical. The graphical module provides an introduction to a selection of topics related to new conputer-based displays of multivariate data. A knowledge of simple matrix algebra, although not essential, would be very helpful in understanding and working through these topics. Extensive use will be made of statistical packages to illustrate the concepts in lectures and tutorials. For more details see the 2001 Unit Information handout .
Tutorial lists are available here.
