An in-depth introduction to the most commonly used statistical and multivariate techniques

Using Multivariate Statistics presents complex statistical procedures in a way that is accessible to beginning students. The authors' practical approach focuses on the benefits and limitations of applying a technique to a data set: when, why, and how to do it. The authors guide students on how to conduct numerous types of multivariate statistical analyses, how to find the best technique to use, and how to use SPSS and SAS syntax and output.

The 7th Edition includes updated references in every chapter.
