Multivariate Analysis Using Data With Non-detects

Multivariate statistical methods provide a means of exploring complex data sets for patterns and relationships from which hypotheses can be generated and subsequently tested. This post explores methods to manage non-detects when applying multivariate procedures to investigate (dis)similarities among data objects based on a set of descriptors.

Univariate and Multivariate Time-Series Analysis

Time-series analysis and forecasting is an important area of machine learning because many predictive learning problems involve a time component. This post examines time-series analysis using indoor air concentrations of trichloroethene and various explanatory varibles collected over time at a single location.
