Using Multivariate Statistics (6th Edition)

Description

Using Multivariate Statistics presents complex statistical procedures in a way that is maximally useful and accessible to researchers who may not be statisticians. 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. Only a limited knowledge of higher-level mathematics is assumed. Students using this text will learn to conduct numerous types of multivariate statistical analyses find the best technique to use understand limitations to applications and learn how to use SPSS and SAS syntax and output.
