Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate Statistics Univariate Analysis

Univariate analysis examines one variable to understand its distribution and patterns. Bivariate analysis studies the relationship between two variables, such as with a scatterplot. Multivariate analysis looks at three or more variables to analyze their relationships, as with multiple linear regression models.

Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate Statistics

Univariate Analysis

Univariate is the analysis of one variable, hence the prefix “uni” which means “one”. It is used to
understand the distribution of values a single variable and find existing pattern/s.

Example: frequency distribution

Bivariate Statistics

Bivariate refers to the analysis of two variables, hence the prefix “bi” which means “two”. It is
used to understand the relationship between two variables in a dataset.

Example: scatterplot

Multivariate Statistics

Compared to the two previous types of analysis, multivariate is involves three or more variables,
hence the prefix “multi” which means “more than one”. It is often used in research studies to study the
relationship between multiple variables.

Example: multiple linear regression model
