an introduction to matrix algebra, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors,
multivariate normality;
techniques for displaying relationships and position (principal
components analysis, factor analysis, biplot displays, correspondence
analysis, multidimensional scaling, and cluster analysis);
techniques for group separation (MANOVA, canonical variate
analysis, discriminant analysis, logistic regression);
techniques for determining relationships between sets of variables
