METR G5383 - Multivariate Spatial Methods

Institution:

University of Oklahoma Norman Campus

Subject:

METR-Meteorology

Description:

Prerequisite: 4303 or Mathematics 4753, Computer Science 1313 or 1323, Mathematics 3333, or permission of instructor. Will examine multivariate statistical methods used in the geophysical sciences for spatial analysis of data. Details of statistical theory, methodological issues, applications and programming will be explored. After a review of scalar, vector and matrix algebra, matrix transformation, scaling procedures, and similarity will be studied. Exploratory analysis with empirical orthogonal functions, principal components, singular value decomposition and factor analysis to be examined in detail with emphasis on truncation rules, graphical, orthogonal, and oblique analytic rotation. Additional topics will include procrustes analysis, canonical correlation analysis, multifield singular value decomposition, and cluster analysis. (Irreg.)
