Multivariate Data Analysis

See publisher description:

Multivariate analysis plays an important role in the understanding of complex data sets requiring simultaneous examination of all variables. Breaking through the apparent disorder of the information, it provides the means for both describing and exploring data, aiming to extract the underlying patterns and structure. This intermediate-level textbook introduces the

Offering an applications-oriented approach which focuses on the use of each technique rather than its mathematical derivation, this textbook introduces a six-step framework for organising and discussing multivariate data analysis techniques.

Offering an applications-oriented approach which focuses on the use of each technique rather than its mathematical derivation, this textbook introduces a six-step framework for organising and discussing multivariate data analysis techniques.

This book enables readers who may not be familiar with matrices to understand a variety of multivariate analysis procedures in matrix forms. Another feature of the book is that it emphasizes what model underlies a procedure and what objective function is optimized for fitting the model to data. The author

"Multivariate Data Analysis - in practice adopts a practical, non-mathematical approach to multivariate data analysis. The book's principal objective is to provide a conceptual framework for multivariate data analysis techniques, enabling the reader to apply these in his or her own field. Features: Focuses on the practical application of multivariate

Examining your data. Multiple regression analysis. Multiple discriminat analysis. Multivariate analysis of variance. Canonical correlation analysis. Factor analysis. Cluster analysis. Multidimensional scaling. Conjoint analysis. Structural equation modeling.

With a useful index of notations at the beginning, this book explains and illustrates the theory and application of data analysis methods from univariate to multidimensional and how to learn and use them efficiently. This book is well illustrated and is a useful and well-documented review of the most important
