    Description of Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis

    Appropriate for experimental scientists in a variety of disciplines, this market-leading text offers a readable introduction to the statistical analysis of multivariate observations. Its overarching goal is to provide readers with the knowledge necessary to make proper interpretations and select appropriate techniques for analyzing multivariate data. It is suitable for junior/senior or graduate level course that explores the statistical methods for describing and analyzing multivariate data.

    Features and Benefits:

    NEW - Enhanced discussions of Multivariate Quality Control and Correspondence Analysis - Provides the student with a greater understanding of these essential topics.

    NEW - Eight new data sets- Includes bear data, lizard data, Egyptian skulls, welding data and more - Provides greater variety of data sets for instructors to assign.

    An abundance of examples and exercises based on real data - Over 50 real data sets are included on an enclosed computer disk - Provides students with the opportunity to duplicate the authors analyses, carry out the analyses, or analyze the data using suggested methods.

    Important results and formulas are highlighted and boxed - Directs students attention toward key concepts.
    Applications of multivariate methods are emphasized - Makes the mathematics as accessible as possible for the student.

    A clear and insightful explanation of multivariate techniques - Assists students as they navigate difficult topics.
