{{short description|Method of analyzing large data sets}}

'''Multiway data analysis''' is a method of analyzing large data sets by representing thea collection of dataobservations as a [[multiway array]], <math> {\mathcal A}\in{\mathbb C}^{I_0\times I_1\times \dots I_c\times \dots I_C}</math>. The proper choice of data organization into ''(C+1)''-way array, and analysis techniques can reveal patterns in the underlying data undetected by other methods.<ref name=Coppi1989>

==History==

The study of multiway data analysis was first formalized as the result of a conference held in 1988. The result of this conference was the first text specifically addressed to this field, Coppi and Bolasco's ''Multiway Data Analysis''.<ref name=Kroonenberg2008 Coppi1989>

===Multiway data ===

Multiway data analysts use the term ''way'' to refer to the number sources of data variation while reserving the word ''mode'' for the methods or models used to analyze the data.<ref name=Kroonenberg2008/>
