A modern classic

Appropriate for experimental scientists in a variety of disciplines, Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis, 9th Edition is a readable introduction to the statistical analysis of multivariate observations. Its goal is to help students make proper interpretations and select appropriate techniques for analyzing multivariate data. Ideal for a junior/senior or graduate level course that explores the statistical methods for describing and analyzing multivariate data, the text assumes 2 or more statistics courses as a prerequisite.

This title is part of the Pearson Modern Classics series. Pearson Modern Classics are acclaimed titles at a value price.

Hallmark features of this title

  • Accessible level: Presents the concepts and methods of multivariate analysis in a way that is readily understandable by readers who have taken 2 or more statistics courses.
  • Organization and approach: Contains the methodological tools of multivariate analysis in Chapters 5 - 12, with a discussion that is direct and uncluttered. Ample student assistance in navigating difficult topics is provided.
  • An abundance of examples and exercises based on real data: Includes in some cases snapshots of the corresponding SAS output.
  • Targeted presentation of key concepts.
  • Emphasis on applications of multivariate methods.
  • A clear and insightful explanation of multivariate techniques.

New and updated features of this title

  • 12 new real data sets (e.g. national track records for men and women, psychological profile data, car body assembly data and more).
  • 37 new exercises and 20 revised exercises, most of new and revised exercises based on new data sets.
  • 4 new examples and 15 revised examples; new and revised examples based on new data sets or theoretical concepts new to this edition.
  • 6 new or expanded sections (e.g. Section 6.6 Testing for Equality of Covariance Matrices, Section 11.7 Logistic Regression and Classification, Section 12.5 Clustering Based on Statistical Models, Expanded Section 6.3 to include “An Approximation to the Distribution of T2 for Normal Populations When Sample Sizes are not Large,” Expanded Sections 7.6 and 7.7 to include Akaike's Information Criterion, Expanded Section 12.8 to include material on new biplots.
  • Consolidated old sections 11.3 and 11.5 on two group discriminant analysis into single section 11.3.
  • To make the text more easily accessible to a wider audience who need to use the methods of applied multivariate analysis, we have removed several long proofs and placed them on the website.

(Note: Each chapter begins with an Introduction and concludes with Exercises and References.
