390016 DK PhD-M: Multivariate Business Statistics (2015W)

The course consists of three parts. In the first part, the theoretical principles of selected multivariate techniques are presented by the lecturer. Since not all the material can be covered in the lecture, careful reading of the relevant chapters in the textbooks is necessary. This part ends with a written examination. In the second part, the participants are expected to present a scientific article in which one or more multivariate techniques are used (mid-term presentations). In the third part, the participants conduct a practical data analysis project with a given data set. For data analysis, the SPSS package is used. The written seminar papers have to be handed over to the lecturer one week before the end-term presentation by the latest.
