## Multivariate Analysis

The Multivariate module allows you to explore relationships, variances, and correlations among multiple continuous variables simultaneously. Use the sidebar to configure your data before viewing the results.

### 1. Select Your Variables

- Use the Variables dropdown menu to select the data columns you wish to analyze.
- Because this is a multivariate analysis, you can (and should) select multiple variables at the same time from the list.

### 2. Grouping Data (Optional)

- If you want to calculate your multivariate statistics separated by specific categories, check the Statistics by group? box and select your grouping variable.

### 3. View Summaries

- Navigate to the Summaries tab in the main panel to view your results instantly in interactive tables:
  - Correlation matrix: Displays the correlation coefficients between all possible pairs of your selected variables, helping you identify strong linear relationships.
  - Variances and covariances matrix: Shows the variance of each individual variable along the diagonal, and the covariance between different variables off the diagonal.
