About IIT Kharagpur

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur is a public institute of technology established by the Government of India in Kharagpur, West Bengal, India. Established in 1951, the institute is the first of the IITs to be established and is recognized as an Institute of National Importance.

About the Short Term Course

Multivariate models are widely used popular statistical methods that use multiple variables for decision-making or to predict possible outcomes. Today, in the era of data-driven decision-making, where the practical phenomena are mostly multivariate in nature, the use of multivariate modeling and data analysis has become a natural choice for researchers and practitioners from engineering, science, and management disciplines dealing with real-world data.

In this context, IIT Kharagpur offers this short-term course on Multivariate Data Analysis with Applications for industry professionals, scientists, and academicians. The course mainly focuses on model building and problem-solving under real-world multivariate situations.

The Official Course Brochure can be found here.

Objective

  • To make the participants understand how to collect and analyze multivariate data, extract patterns, build relationships, and make objective decisions.
