Complete course on Exploratory Multivariate Data Analysis (MOOC)

This course corresponds to a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) that is free and played in February or March (the first session was in 2017). You can subscribe From December to March from the platform FUN.

The links in blue correspond to the course videos or the course slides on the method, the links in brown correspond to tutorial's on FactoMineR or on missing values.

Note that sometimes we refer to quiz and exercises but they are only available on the MOOC.
