Pieter M. Kroonenberg (Leiden University)

This course is designed to introduced researchers into the, primarily exploratory, analysis of multi-way data. Given that multi is in most cases three, the presentation will be primarily in terms of three-way data and models. The course is designed with the view of applying the methods, rather than as a mathematical exposition of the theory of multiway methods. During the course, there will be a number of practice sessions with three-way software to gain a feeling of how analyses can be conducted and there is ample opportunity to analyse one's own data, if so desired.

In the course, the major models in the area will be discussed including those topics which are required to perform insightful analyses. Moreover, a variety of examples will be presented to give an idea of what is possible with multiway data.
