This course presents an overview of the main techniques of multivariate data analysis, with emphasis on fundamental concepts, application conditions and interpretation of results. The course is essentially oriented towards the use of models in exercises and case studies with systematic use of "packages" of Statistics. The examples refer to the use of these techniques in the different functional areas such as Management Marketing (analysis of consumer preferences), Finance (classification of individual credit risk, or firms, "rating" of bonds) or Human Resources (performance analysis, design of compensation plans). The program of this course has been prepared on the assumption that students dominate the univariate statistical (main probability distributions and parameter estimation) is proposed to be their revision.
