| Purpose: The purpose of this module is to enable students to apply and interpret multivariate statistical techniques. While theory is important in understanding how a certain technique works, it is of little use if it cannot be applied. The focus will be on applied techniques in multivariate analysis for interdependence and dependence techniques using statistical packages such as SASJMP, SPSS, R and SAS to analyse and interpret outputs. The student should be able to describe how the techniques are used in practice, by covering aspects such as deciding when a technique is appropriate, how the relevant data is fed into statistical packages and interpretation of the output of such packages. |
