Synopsis

A comprehensive overview of multivariate data and analysis

Providing an introduction to the subject of multivariate data analysis without delving deeply into underlying theory and concepts, An Introduction to Multivariate Data is an excellent resource for undergraduate statistics courses as well as for professionals who require an understanding of statistical techniques for analyzing their own data sets. Focused on real-world application, the book includes sample exercises in each chapter to firmly cement the concepts covered. Exercises range from simple problems that can be solved by hand or with a calculator, while others require the use of computer-based statistical software.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Multivariate data appear in all scientific fields of investigation and the study of multivariate analysis has become central to the discipline of data science. Not only is it part of the statistical education curriculum but it is also an essential tool for applied scientists in their research work. An Introduction to Multivariate Data Analysis clearly explains how to successfully reduce a large and complex set of data with many variables to a manageable new formulation where information, structure and underlying patterns are more clearly revealed.
