Disability Help
If you have a disability and need help, please contact me and the Office of Educational Support Services at disability@case.edu, 216.368.5230 as early as possible in the term.
Academic Integrity
You are expected to maintain the highest integrity in your work for this class. This includes not passing off anyone else’s work as your own, even with their permission. Your homework solutions must be your own work, not from outside sources, consistent with the university rules on academic honesty. I expect you to follow this policy scrupulously. Evidence of academic dishonesty may lead to loss of credit for the assignment, and possibly failure of the course.

III. Course Description

Contemporary multivariate analysis, including statistical learning and inference methods when the number of measures far exceeds the number of subjects (“high-dimensional data”). Topics include (but not limited to) classical modeling and inference under multivariate normal theory, principal components, descriptive and confirmatory factor analysis, partial least squares, classification and supervised learning, cluster analysis and unsupervised learning methods. This course stresses how the core modeling principles, computing tools, and visualization strategies are used to address complex scientific aims powerfully and efficiently, and to communicate those findings effectively to content researchers who may have little or no experience in these methods.
