Other Useful Methods

Abstract

THIS FINAL CHAPTER provides a collection of useful multivariate methods that do not fit into any of the previous chapters. The Bradley–Terry model gives a way to rank a set of objects that are subjected to pairwise comparisons. Such examples include sports teams that play against each other. Canonical correlations generalize the definition of correlation of a pair of scalar-valued variates to two groups of several variables that are considered jointly. The study of extremes allows us to examine several of the largest values in a collection of data.
