Using Multivariate Statistics

For advanced undergraduate and graduate statistics courses in Social and Behavioral Sciences.

An in-depth introduction to today’s most commonly used statistical and multivariate techniques 

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.
