It takes a \"methods\" approach to the subject, placing an emphasis on how students and practitioners can employ multivariate analysis in real-life situations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis \u003ci\u003eThird Edition\u003c\/i\u003e continues to explore the key descriptive and inferential procedures that result from multivariate analysis. Following a brief overview of the topic, the book goes on to review the fundamentals of matrix algebra, sampling from multivariate populations, and the extension of common univariate statistical procedures (including \u003ci\u003et\u003c\/i\u003e-tests, analysis of variance, and multiple regression) to analogous multivariate techniques that involve several dependent variables. The latter half of the book describes statistical tools that are uniquely multivariate in nature, including procedures for discriminating among groups, characterizing low-dimensional latent structure in high-dimensional data, identifying clusters in data, and graphically illustrating relationships in low-dimensional space. In addition, the authors explore a wealth of newly added topics, including: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConfirmatory Factor Analysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClassification Trees\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDynamic Graphics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransformations to Normality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrediction for Multivariate Multiple Regression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKronecker Products and Vec Notation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew exercises have been added throughout the book, allowing readers to test their comprehension of the presented material.
