Correlations and Multivariate Techniques

Explore the Multidimensional Behavior of Variables

Use the Multivariate platform to explore how many variables relate to each other. The word multivariate simply means involving many variables instead of one (univariate) or two (bivariate). From the Multivariate report, you can:

• summarize the strength of the linear relationships between each pair of response variables using the Correlations table

• identify dependencies, outliers, and clusters using the Scatterplot Matrix

• use other techniques to examine multiple variables, such as partial, inverse, and pairwise correlations, covariance matrices, principal components, and more
