MATH3030-E1 
The University of Nottingham 
SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES 
A LEVEL 3 MODULE, SPRING SEMESTER 2019-2020 
MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS 
Suggested time to complete: TWO Hours THIRTY Minutes 
Paper set: 21/05/2020 - 10:00 
Paper due: 28/05/2020 - 10:00 
Answer ALL questions 
Your solutions should be written on white paper using dark ink (not pencil), on a tablet, or 
typeset. Do not write close to the margins. Your solutions should include complete 
explanations and all intermediate derivations. Your solutions should be based on the material 
covered in the module and its prerequisites only. Any notation used should be consistent with 
that in the Lecture Notes. 
Guidance on the Alternative Assessment Arrangements can be found on the Faculty of Science 
Moodle page: https://moodle.nottingham.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=99154#section-2 
Submit your answers as a single PDF with each page in the correct orientation, to the 
appropriate dropbox on the module’s Moodle page. Use the standard naming 
convention for your document: [StudentID]_[ModuleCode].pdf. Please check the 
box indicated on Moodle to confirm that you have read and understood the statement 
on academic integrity: https://moodle.nottingham.ac.uk/pluginfile.php/6288943/mod_ 
tabbedcontent/tabcontent/8496/FoS%20Statement%20on%20Academic%20Integrity.pdf 
A scan of handwritten notes is completely acceptable. Make sure your PDF is easily readable 
and does not require magnification. Text which is not in focus or is not legible for any other 
reason will be ignored. If your scan is larger than 20Mb, please see if it can easily be reduced 
in size (e.g. scan in black white, use a lower dpi — but not so low that readability is 
compromised). 
Staff are not permitted to answer assessment or teaching queries during the assessment 
period. If you spot what you think may be an error on the exam paper, note this in your 
submission but answer the question as written. Where necessary, minor clarifications or 
general guidance may be posted on Moodle for all students to access. 
Students with approved accommodations are permitted an extension of 3 days. 
The standard University of Nottingham penalty of 5% deduction per working day will 
apply to any late submission.

Academic Integrity in Alternative Assessments 
The alternative assessment tasks for summer 2020 are to replace exams that would have 
assessed your individual performance. You will work remotely on your alternative assessment 
tasks and they will all be undertaken in “open book” conditions. Work submitted for 
assessment should be entirely your own work. You must not collude with others or employ the 
services of others to work on your assessment. As with all assessments, you also need to avoid 
plagiarism. Plagiarism, collusion and false authorship are all examples of academic misconduct. 
They are defined in the University Academic Misconduct Policy at: https://www.nottingham.ac. 
uk/academicservices/qualitymanual/assessmentandawards/academic-misconduct.aspx 
Plagiarism: representing another person’s work or ideas as your own. You could do this by 
failing to correctly acknowledge others’ ideas and work as sources of information in an 
assignment or neglecting to use quotation marks. This also applies to the use of graphical 
material, calculations etc. in that plagiarism is not limited to text-based sources. There is 
further guidance about avoiding plagiarism on the University of Nottingham website. 
False Authorship: where you are not the author of the work you submit. This may include 
submitting the work of another student or submitting work that has been produced (in whole 
or in part) by a third party such as through an essay mill website. As it is the authorship of an 
assignment that is contested, there is no requirement to prove that the assignment has been 
purchased for this to be classed as false authorship. 
Collusion: cooperation in order to gain an unpermitted advantage. This may occur where you 
have consciously collaborated on a piece of work, in part or whole, and passed it off as your 
own individual effort or where you authorise another student to use your work, in part or 
whole, and to submit it as their own. Note that working with one or more other students to 
plan your assignment would be classed as collusion, even if you go on to complete your 
assignment independently after this preparatory work. Allowing someone else to copy your 
work and submit it as their own is also a form of collusion. 
Statement of Academic Integrity 
By submitting a piece of work for assessment you are agreeing to the following statements: 
1. I confirm that I have read and understood the definitions of plagiarism, false authorship 
and collusion. 
2. I confirm that this assessment is my own work and is not copied from any other person’s 
work (published or unpublished). 
3. I confirm that I have not worked with others to complete this work. 
4. I understand that plagiarism, false authorship, and collusion are academic offences and I 
may be referred to the Academic Misconduct Committee if plagiarism, false authorship or 
collusion is suspected.

1. (a) i) Briefly describe the method of principal components analysis and explain its main 
uses.

recorded as vectors of length 5 over 40 quarter year periods. A principal components 
analysis was performed on the sample covariance matrix with eigenvectors given by

2. (a) Let 1,… , be independent identically distributed(,) random variables. Denote 
the sample mean by 
̄ = 
 
 
∑ 
=1 
 
and the sample covariance matrix by 
 
 
∑ 
=1 
( − ̄)( − ̄) 
⊤.

(̄ − )−1(̄ − ) ∼ 2 .

ii) State, without proof, the distribution of 
2 = ( − 1)(̄ − )−1(̄ − ).

(b) The length and width measurements in for a particular species of fish with sample 
size = 30 have mean vector ̄1 = (81.50, 68.90) 
and covariance matrix 
1 = [ 
30.0 10.0 
10.0 20.0] 
It has been conjectured that the mean of the length and width of this species of fish 
should equal 80 and 69 respectively, i.e. 0 = (80, 69) 
⊤. 
Examine this claim by carrying out a suitable test, and carefully state your assumptions. 
[10 marks] 
(c) The length and width measurements for a second species of fish with sample size = 35 
have mean vector ̄2 = (84. ∗ ∗, 70.60) 
⊤ and covariance matrix 
2 = [ 
28.6 9.9 
9.9 21.1] 
where ∗∗ are the final two digits of your Student ID number. For example if your 
Student ID is 53256178 then ∗∗ is 78 and the sample mean length of the second species 
of fish is 84.78. 
Carry out a two sample test using test statistic 
2 = 
( + − − 1) 
( + − 2) 
 
(̄1 − ̄2) 
⊤−1 (̄1 − ̄2), 
to investigate whether the two population means are the same or not, carefully stating 
your assumptions. Note that is the pooled unbiased covariance matrix estimator.

ii) Briefly discuss an alternative procedure for testing the hypothesis in (c) which is 
based on the multivariate linear model

where the terms in the model should be specified. There is no need to carry out 
this alternative test.

Barcelona 3313 0 1318 1326 1294 1498 
Brussels 2963 1318 0 204 583 206 
Calais 3175 1326 204 0 460 409 
Cherbourg 3339 1294 583 460 0 785 
Cologne 2762 1498 206 409 785 0

data are (×106): 
(8.015, 1.423, 0.157, 0, −0.002, −0.019)

scaling is a good approximation to the spatial arrangement of the cities, giving your 
reasons.

reasoning. 
[15 marks] 
(b) For = 1, ..., let denote a population described by a probability density function 
(|). Provide a brief explanation of the sample ML discriminant rule in this situation. 
[5 marks] 
(c) i) Measurements of cranial length (1) and cranial breadth (2), both measured in 
millimetres, on samples of 40male and 40 female frogs led to the following statistics 
for the sample mean vector (̄) and sample covariance matrix (), with = 1 
for male frogs and = 2 for female frogs. 
Assuming the data are multivariate normal and stating any additional assumptions 
that youmake, derive a sample ML discriminant rule for allocating a new observation 
to 1 or 2 for this example. 
ii) Provide a suitable diagram and plot the straight line which separates the two 
allocation regions and label each region. 
iii) Would you classify a new observation = (23, 24) as male or female? Give your 
reasoning. 
iv) If the multivariate normal assumption looks suspect, e.g. the distributions have 
thicker tails than the multivariate normal distribution, briefly describe a possible 
strategy for obtaining an appropriate classification rule.
