Course Description

First you will review basic statistic technique. Second you will study multivariate techniques such as regression analysis, principal component analysis, discriminant analysis, cluster analysis, etc. You will understand the theories to interpret the analysis results. You will also obtain the ability to apply the multivariate analysis technique through case studies and exercises using computer software.This subject corresponds to the diploma policy DP2.

Course Objectives

As multivariate is widely applied to various fields including science and technology, you will be able to understand basic techniques of statistic and multivariate, and will be able to apply them to practical problem solving session.

Grading Policy

Your overall grade in this class will be decided based on the following: - Score of the presentation result of the practical exercise using computers for 50%,- Score of the submitted report for 50%. However, if you are not eager to attending the lecture or the exercise, you will not be given the credit.

Requirements(Assignments)

It is desirable that you understand mathematical statistics and linear algebra of undergraduates. You should review the exercises for each technique of multivariate analysis and apply them in your own problems.

Note

In addition to lectures, you will take computer exercises almost every class to understand the lecture well. The contents of the lectures and exercises may be changed appropriately according to students' understanding level and students' own research interest. This class will be taught in Japanese. However, if necessary, English will also be available.
