Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who have passed the module should be able to

  • Account for general methods for multivariate data analysis (principal component analysis, multiple linear regression, principal component regression, projection on latent structures, soft independent modelling of class analogy)
  • Account for methods for data preprocessing (centering, scaling, non-linear and spectroscopic preprocessing, orthogonal signal correction)
  • Explain basic methods for variable selection (Selectivity ratio, VIP, interval PLS, jack-knife)
  • Explain the theoretical background of these methods, their advantages and limitations as well as possible applications
  • Explain how multivariate methods complement traditional statistical methods

Skills

  • Explore multivariate data, find groups and trends, detect and remove outliers
  • Calibrate and do proper validation of multivariate regression models, use these models for prediction
  • Evaluate if data need a preprocessing and which method to apply
  • Calibrate and evaluate models for data classification
  • Compare different regression and classification models and find which is the best
  • Use multivariate methods for analysis of real data from different applications
