| Multivariate analyses examine the relations of multiple variables of sets of variables (e.g., multiple independent and/or dependent variables, repeated measurements of the same variable). The first part of the course will continue on from Psyc 6002 , covering topics such as discriminant function analysis, survival analysis, and canonical correlation. The second part will introduce the structural equation modeling framework and specific techniques (e.g., factor analysis, path, and growth models). Overall, the course will emphasize conceptual understanding of these techniques: when they are appropriately applied, what they do, and how they are interpreted. Statistical software applications will be included. Students in the clinical program are required to take Psych 6003 Multivariate Statistics or Psych 6004 Qualitative Methods. Elective course.Prerequisites: PSYC 6001 , 6002. |
