Lectures for Multivariate Statistical Analysis
Lectures based on the book: Härdle & Simar & Fengler : Multivariate Statistical Analysis. The course presents multivariate statistical analysis in a comprehensive way, including the most useful standard approaches to multi-dimensional data. It also features numerous examples and provides the underlying links to the sourcecodes in R, Python or SAS code, allowing readers to reproduce all computations.
