Multivariate definitions of the median often make use of geometric ideas, such as minimizing the sum of simplex volumes or peeling convex hulls.
The multivariate Student t distribution is elliptically contoured like the multinormal distribution, and characterizes the ratio of a multinormal vector to the standard deviation common to each variate.
In the multivariate case, it is difficult to define Quantile as the inverse of the CDF function because many values of the random vector (or random matrix) correspond to a single probability value.

Multivariate statistical methods are designed to evaluate more than 1 variable at a time.
The diverse array of multivariate methods are easier to understand in terms of the number (and types) of dependent (or "response") variables on one side of the equation and the number of independent (or "predictor") variables on the other.
The multivariate normal distribution is not assumed, rather, a distance measure is used to cluster similar cases together.

The increased power of multivariate techniques is achieved by utilizing the correlation among the various response variables measured on a single experimentation unit.
Multivariate techniques use information in the correlation structure among response variables, which often increases the power of the statistical analysis to detect treatment difference as compared to the univariate counterpart.
Multivariate outliers are difficult to visualize, again because a data point is an outlier with respect to the multidimensional characteristics corresponding to the set of response variables.

Using multivariate quality control methods, engineers and manufacturers who monitor complex processes may monitor the stability of their process.
Similarly the likelihood that a multivariate process is completely out of control is less than that of the univariate case.
Using multivariate control charts, it is possible to maintain a specific error rate, while taking advantage of cross correlation between the variables, and the process can be analyzed for its stability without the complication of maintaining many control charts at once.

 SAS Library: Multivariate regression in SAS
The hypothesis being tested by a multivariate regression is that there is a joint linear effect of the set of predictors on the set of responses.
The basic assumptions of multivariate regression are 1) multivariate normality of the residuals, 2) homogenous variances of residuals conditional on predictors, 3) common covariance structure across observations, and 4) independent observations.
In other words, multivariate tests tell us that the set of predictors accounts for a statistically significant portion of the variance in the dependent variables, and the univariate tests break this down for us so that we can see where the significant differences are.

 MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS
Repeated-measures problems differ from other multivariate problems in that in repeated-measures analysis, the several measures must be on the same scale so that it is meaningful to average the measurements within each case.
To understand when a multivariate test is likely to outperform the Bonferroni method and when it is not, it helps to understand in more detail how the multivariate approach tests a hypothesis.
On the other hand, a significant result from a multivariate test yields only the vague conclusion that the independent variable affects "one or more" of the dependent variables, without allowing you to say which variables are affected.

 Solving Multivariate Equations   (Site not responding. Last check: )
How you approach solving multivariate equations will depend on whether you intend to find a numeric value for each variable, or just solve for one variable.
When we are given a multivariate equation where we want to solve for just one variable, we follow the same steps used for equations with one variable as outlined in the last unit.
Now take time to practice solving multivariate equations that contain a single variable by completing the practice before moving on to the next unit.

It describes the appropriate context for -- and the types of empirical questions that can best be addressed by -- each technique or family of techniques, as well as the distribution assumptions that must be met for the analysis to be meaningful.
The most commonly used multivariate techniques are examined in detail: multiple regression and correlation, path analysis, principal-components analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, multidimensional scaling, analysis of cross-classified data, logistic regression, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), discriminant analysis, and meta-analysis.
Multivariate Statistics is an ideal companion to any multivariate research text for performing these analyses, so in addition to research consumers it will be helpful to students and investigators learning to use a particular analysis for the first time.

 Statistical Graphics for Multivariate Data
While many important new graphical techniques for multivariate data have recently been developed (e.g., Barnett, 1981; Chambers et al., 1983) there is usually a long lag before they are implemented in a widely accessible form.
Confirmatory (inferential) methods for multivariate data, however, are almost universally based on the assumption that the data or residuals have a multivariate normal distribution.
The basic principle is to calculate a quantity from each multivariate observation, such that this quantity follows a known probability distribution when the data follows the multivariate normal distribution.

 Stata Release 9: Multivariate methods
In addition to reading about the new methods, be sure to check the postestimation documentation for the multivariate estimators you use to learn about many important new features.
New commands mds, mdslong, and mdsmat perform classic metric multidimensional scaling: mds performs the scaling with respect to the distances (dissimilarities) between observations, mdslong performs the scaling on a long dataset where each observation represents the distance between two points or objects, and mdsmat performs the scaling on a matrix of distances.
All of Stata’s multivariate analysis facilities that rely on pairwise comparisons of distance, similarity, dissimilarity, covariance, correlation, or other proximity measures can now work directly with proximity matrices that you compute or obtain from other sources.

 Univariate and Multivariate Power Analysis
Estimating power in the multivariate case is considerably more difficult than estimating power in the univariate case, mainly because the estimates of effect size and measures of strength of association are more complicated and more difficult to obtain.
The necessary quantities for the solution to this estimated multivariate multiple regression problem depend on the hypothesis to be tested.
The computations to obtain the necessary multivariate quantities are tedious, but can be obtained by either SPSS MANOVA with matrix input (Hull and Nie, 1981, Harris, 2001) or other specialized programs (Haase, 1993 [download SPSS syntax], 2000 [download SPSS syntax]).

 Multivariate Visualization Techniques
The advantage of multidimensional scaling over other multivariate visualization techniques is that it is independent of the number of variables.
As long as it is possible to ascertain the high dimensional distance between observations, by using dissimilarity coefficients of Section 1.2 for example, a low dimensional embedding can be found.
The type of variables is also immaterial, and even heterogeneous data can be visualized with the aid of the general dissimilarity coefficient (1.8), including nominal variables, which elude other multivariate visualization methods.
