Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who complete the module must 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, nonlinear and spectroscopic reprocessing, 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 identify the best
  • use multivariate methods for analysis of real data from different applications
