Factor Analysis Introduction Utilizing a stock portfolio data set and a factor analysis to identify sectors in the stock market, we will transform the variables into log values to explain the variation in the log-returns of the stocks and market index. We will begin the factor analysis by performing a Principal Factor Analysis without a

Principal Components Analysis Utilizing a stock portfolio data set and the Principal Components Analysis as a method in reducing dimension and as a remedial measure for multicollinearity in Ordinary Least Squares regression. Beginning with the data, we will transform the variables into log values to explain the variation in the log-returns of the stocks and

Data Variables and Analytical Models Before diving in to a statistical analysis of any dataset, spending the requisite time to understand the data, checking the quality and taking a look ‘under the dash’ is essential. Below, we will examine the data variables and analytical models on a housing prices as a first step in predicting

Assessing Regression Models Using Numerous Variables Regression model on the Amex, Iowa housing data set builds regression models for the house sale price with numerous variables. Some of which are highly correlated, continuous variables along to the other side of the continuum by evaluating categorical, low correlated variables. An assessment of each model will be

Cluster Analysis on Transformed Predictor Variables Cluster analysis is grouping a set of objects in a way that objects in the same group are more similar in some sense to each other than those in other groups. Clusters are identified by assessing the relative distances between points, the relative homogeneity of each cluster and the degree
