Session Submission Summary

Profile Analysis via Multivariate Statistics for Continuous and Categorical Data

Tue, April 17, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Second Level, West Room 206

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium is designed to introduce a new profile analytical approach called Profile Analysis via Multivariate Statistics (PAMS) and the application of PAMS to analyses of continuous and categorical data. PAMS was originally based on multidimensional scaling to identify the most typical profiles in a population, but it has been expanded to a multiple regression technique for identifying the predictor score patterns that account for variation in a criterion variable. Moreover, PAMS can be applied to analysis of categorical data, utilizing the correspondence analysis paradigm. The current symposium aims to represent PAMS applications for multiple regression and correspondence analysis.
