Robert L. Andrews, Virginia Commonwealth University

ABSTRACT
Presentation of 3-dimensional, in-class demonstrations to help give students a visual understanding of multivariate statistical methods. Separate demonstrations address introduction to multivariate data, interaction in regression, principal component analysis, multivariate analysis of variance and discriminant analysis, and cluster analysis. Students can better understand the math in multivariate procedures once they visually understand what the model is doing.
