Synopsis

This book has been written for investigators, specifically behavioral scientists, biomedical scientists, econometricians, and industrial users who wish to perform multivariate statistical analyses on their data and understand the results. In addition, we believe that the book will be helpful to many statisticians who have been trained in conventional mathematical statistics and who are now working as statistical consultants. Statistical consultants overall should find the book useful in assisting them in giving explanations to clients who lack sufficient background in mathematics.

About this title

Review

For the past 20 years, whenever I had and occasion to review a multivariate method...this was the book that I grabbed first. These books kept the mathematical content to the minimally necessary material and used a wealth of nice examples. One of its attractions is that it is a practical text that works well with nonstatisticians who have had a decent statistics course. It also continues to be an excellent book for the statistician's bookshelf.
-Technometrics, November 2004

This book is an excellent presentation of computer-aided multivariate analysis. I believe that it will be a very useful addition to any scholarly library...it provides a comprehensive introduction to available techniques for analyzing data of this form, written in a style that should appeal to non-specialists as well as to statisticians.
-Zentralblatt MATH 105

This is a text for a broad spectrum of researchers....who may find it very useful as it stresses the importance of understanding the concepts and methods through useful real life illustrations.
-Journal of the RSS, Vol. 168, 2005

A key feature of this book is that it can be used in conjunction with any or all of the following very well-known software tools: S-Plus, SAS, SPSS, STATA, and SSTATISTICA.
