Course material for the online course "Applied Multivariate statistics"

by Ralf B. Schäfer, University of Koblenz-Landau 2018/19

Overview

This repository provides all course materials including R code, slides and data. For further information such as links to teaching videos visit the OpenOlat course pages.

Prerequisites

To prepare your computer for the lecture, you need to install R, Revolution R or R Studio. I use several packages in the course, if you want to have all packages ready at the beginning of the course, run the script 0_install_packgs.R in the Code folder. Note that these are all my packages that I use for different projects and installation may take some time. Alternatively, you can just install a new package whenever it is needed:

install.packages("package_name")

Links to videos for students that take the course with compulsory attendance (not online students!)

The videos contain quiz questions. Important: You need to be logged in to access these questions. See the Tutorial in the course materials how to log into the system. Instead of R tutorials, these sessions come with R videos and scripts.

Session 9: Cluster analysis
