From the Reviews of A Users Guide to Principal Components "The book is aptly and correctly namedA Users Guide. It is the kind of book that a user at any level, novice or skilled practitioner, would want to have at hand for autotutorial, for refresher, or as a general-purpose guide through the maze of modern PCA." Technometrics "I recommend A Users Guide to Principal Components to anyone who is running multivariate analyses, or who contemplates performing such analyses. Those who write their own software will find the book helpful in designing better programs. Those who use off-the-shelf software will find it invaluable in interpreting the results." Mathematical Geology Dealing with the "how to do it" as well as the '"why it works," this book is designed for practitioners of principal component analysis. It explores topics such as: extension to p variables, scaling input data, inferential procedures, operations with group data, and vector interpretation. This item is printed on demand.
