Editing Multidimensional analysis (section)

{{Short description|Data analysis process}}
In [[statistics]], [[econometrics]] and related fields, '''multidimensional analysis''' ('''MDA''') is a [[data analysis]] process that groups data into two categories: [[data dimension]]s and measurements. For example, a [[data set]] consisting of the number of wins for a single football team at each of several years is a single-dimensional (in this case, longitudinal) data set. A data set consisting of the number of wins for several football teams in a single year is also a single-dimensional (in this case, cross-sectional) data set. A data set consisting of the number of wins for several football teams over several years is a two-dimensional data set.
