Abstract
We know from our basic knowledge of statistics that one of the objectives in statistics is to better understand and model the underlying process which generates data. This is known as statistical inference: we infer from information contained in sample properties of the population from which the observations are taken. In multivariate statistical inference, we do exactly the same.
