Uses for multivariate analysis include: design for capability (also known as capability-based design) inverse design, where any variable can be treated as an independent variable Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), the selection of concepts to fulfil a customer need analysis of concepts with respect to changing scenarios identification of critical design-drivers and correlations across hierarchical levels.
Multivariat analyse inkluderer: design af kapacitet (også kendt som kapacitetsbaseret design) invers design, hvor enhver variabel kan behandles som en uafhængig variabel Analyse af Alternativer, et udvalg af koncepter til at opfylde en kundes behov analyse af koncepter i forhold til at ændre scenarier identifikation af kritiske design-drivere og korrelation af hierakisk niveauer
