Multivariate Analysis

The term multivariate analysis is usually applied to those analyses that have more than one factor. It is also applied to the situation where there are multiple responses. The solution of a multi-factor system with a single response is inherent to multiple regression. When there are multiple responses, a one at a time approach may be used. The responses may also be linearly combined into a single response (a Calculated Response).
