Pre-Requisites: Knowledge of or Interest in Matrix Algebra and Multivariate Calcul Us

This document provides information about an Applied Multivariate Data Analysis course offered at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. The 3 credit course aims to introduce students to commonly used multivariate analysis techniques to solve business problems. It will cover topics like multiple regression, conjoint analysis, principal component analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, and logistic regression. Students will learn the theoretical underpinnings and assumptions of the techniques as well as apply them to real problems using software like R, SPSS, and SAS. Evaluation will include assignments, a short test, and a final exam. The course requires prerequisites in matrix algebra and calculus and an aptitude for quantitative modeling.
