    Multivariate data analysis involves simultaneously analyzing multiple measurements from each individual or object. It builds variates, which are linear combinations of variables with empirically determined weights. Variates are calculated as the sum of each variable multiplied by its weight. There are different measurement scales for data, including nonmetric scales like nominal and ordinal, and metric scales like interval and ratio, with ratio having the highest precision.

    Multivariate Data Analysis

    Reading Notes
    Multivariate Definition
    • In general it means all statistical methods that simultaneously analyse
    multiple measurements on each individual or object under
    investigation.
    • Building block of Multivariate is the variate- a linear combination of
    variables with empirically determined weights.
    • Variate value = w1X1 + w2X2 + w3X3 + ……wnXn
    Measurement Scale

    Nonmetric
    Qualitative
    Data
    Metric
    Quantitative
    Nonmetric
    • Nominal- Classification, Categorization (e.g gender, age)
    • Ordinal – Ranking – greater than or less then

    • Number in in ordinal are non- quantitative (only to show relative


    position)
    Metric Measurement Scale
    • Interval – arbitrary zero point as in Celsius
    • Ratio- absolute zero point
    • Both are highest level of measurement precision, permitting
    mathematical operations to be performed.
    • Ratio has the highest measurement precision.
