General Prerequisites
The course "Statistics" is not formally a prerequisite but sufficient knowledge of its content is essential for the effective understanding of the concepts in "Multivariate Statistics".
Learning Outcomes
The main objective is the understanding of the theory fundamentals and the ability for practical implementation of statistical analysis methods in problems where more than one random variables are involved. In parallel, the course aims at deepening the understanding of basic concepts of probability theory and statistical inference.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Make decisions
  • Work autonomously
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
Two and higher-dimensional random variables: joint, marginal and conditional distributions. Covariance and correlation. Independent random variables, sums of independent random variables. The bivariate normal distribution. Analysis of variance: the fixed and random effects models for one factor. Design of statistical experiments: factorial and fractional factorial experiments, design and statistical analysis. Response surface methodology. Simple and multiple linear regression, nonlinear regression, correlation.

Student Assessment
Description
The final grade M is a combination of the grades in the final written examination (T), the midterm examination (Π) and the project/homework (E) as follows: • If either Τ < 4,5 or (Τ+Π)/2 < 4, then the final grade is Μ = (0,8)Τ. • In every other case the final grade is Μ = max {(0,6)Τ + (0,3)Π + (0,2)Ε, (0,8)T}.
