Statistical Software VASMM for Variable Selection in Multivariate Methods

A statistical software package VASMM (VAriable Selection in Multivariate Methods) has been developed for selecting a subset of variables in multivariate methods without external variables. The current version is fully implemented for variable selection in principal component analysis and factor analysis. The system has been constructed with interactive architecture on Internet. The users can not only use the system via a web browser but can also obtain information related to variable selection in multivariate techniques of their choice. It allows for us to perform variable selection easily in a variety of practical applications.
