COURSE NO: ST22302CR No. of Credits -4
Course objectives: To introduce the elementary and advanced concepts of multivariate
analysis tools.
Course outcomes: On successful completion of this course, the students will be able to
• Describe the multivariate analysis tools in relation to univariate tools
• Apply multivariate statistical methods in various applications.
UNIT-I
Multivariate Normal Distribution Theory: Marginal and conditional distribution, Joint
distribution, Linear function of correlated normal variate. Characteristics function of
multivariate normal distribution, Maximum likelihood estimation of the mean vector and co-
variance matrix and their independence. Distribution of sample mean vector. Large sample
behavior of mean vector and co-variance matrix. Distribution of non-central chi-square.
UNIT-II
Quadratic form and its distribution. Multiple and partial correlation co-efficient and their
sampling distribution. Simple regression model, regression co-efficient and distribution of
sample regression co-efficient. Test of linear hypothesis about regression co-efficients and
interval estimation.
Canonical Correlation and Canonical variables: Definition, uses, estimation and statistical
inference. Distribution of characteristic roots and vectors: The distribution of canonical
Correlation.
UNIT-III
Distribution of sample co-variance matrix and the sample generalized variance; Wishart matrix
and its distribution. Some important properties of the Wishart distribution. Characteristic
function of Wishart distribution.
Generalized T 2 statistics: The general T2statistics, Derivation of the generalized T2 statistics
and its distribution. Some important properties of T2 statistics and its uses. Two-sample
problem with unequal co-variance matrices. Likelihood criterion for testing independence of set
of variate and it moments. Walk’s lambda criterion and its distribution. Mahalanobis D 2
statistics and its distribution.
UNIT-IV

discrimination between two multivariate normal populations. Sample discriminant function,
tests associated with discriminate function, standards of good classification, probability of
misclassification and their estimation, classification into two and more than two multivariate
normal population
