Welcome to the March edition of Creascience's e-newsletter.
Creascience will be offering its popular 5-day Multivariate Data Analysis School, June 16-20 in Montreal, Canada.
Targeted toward non-statisticians utilizing statistical methods - researchers, scientists, business analysts,
graduate students - and statisticians interested in an applied workshop, this 5-day course focuses on the
practical aspects of the most widely used multivariate methods: Principal Component Analysis (PCA),
Factor Analysis, Correspondence Analysis, Cluster Analysis, Discriminant Analysis, and Canonical Analysis.
Applications in a variety of fields are presented (business, marketing, R&D) and related methods specific to
these fields are also discussed.
The format of our school is unique in many regards:
- Emphasis is put on the objectives of methods, their underlying assumptions and the interpretation of results.
- Basic ideas and concepts of statistics and statistical thinking are introduced, explained, and connected with
contemporary applications of statistical methods.
- Special attention is paid to the generation and interpretation of computer output.
- Half of the time is devoted to hands-on applications, results interpretation and group discussions.
- Participants are strongly encouraged to use their own data for applications.
- Participants are also invited to use their own software. Featured software include SAS, SPSS, Statistica, Minitab,
- S-Plus, JMP and XLStat* (* If you use another software, please contact us.). The workshop actually provides a nice opportunity to compare these packages.
- Experienced instructors share their knowledge in applying these methods and suggest many original applications.
- Last but not least, small class size allows all participants to get the attention they need and ask all the questions they want.

New Session on Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Visualization: June 13 in Montreal, Canada - October 21 in San Francisco, USA
We are awash in an ocean of information! Displaying and graphing are becoming a fundamental part of data analysis. Visualization is used in initial data inspection and exploration, model building and validation, as well as communicating results. This one-day course will provide the practitioner/data analyst with the graphics and plotting procedures required to effectively explore data sets and to help reveal their underlying structure. It will focus on the most recent techniques and computing tools.
