Introduction to Multivariate Statistics

In this week, you were introduced to the distinctions among univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistics. Each of these categories of analysis describes the approaches for analyzing research designs using samples and is, as a result, predominantly inferential statistics. For this discussion assignment, you will discuss each category of analysis and its general intent. You need to provide an example research study making sure you clearly describe the independent variables and DVs of the design. Make sure you explain whether your design would be best analyzed using univariate, bivariate, or multivariate analysis, and why. In a minimum of 200 words, post to the Discussion Area your responses to the following: Discuss univariate analysis. Discuss bivariate analysis. Discuss multivariate analysis. Provide an example of a research study.
