This course covers multivariate descriptive statistical analysis methods to uncover data structures, characteristics of experimental data, and relationships among these characteristics. The analysis methods include:
- Analysis of Variance (ANOVA): Both one-way and multivariate ANOVA to test differences between data groups.
- Principal Component Analysis (PCA): To reduce the number of variables and identify key components affecting the data.
- Correlation Analysis: To assess relationships between variables.
- Cluster Analysis: To classify and group objects based on their common features.
Students will be guided in using R software and packages such as SensoMineR and FactoMineR through specific case exercises. Problem-solving skills will be enhanced by building and executing data analysis projects based on real-world scenarios. Additionally, students will learn to represent and interpret results using graphical methods with support packages like ggplot2 to improve their presentation skills.
