Excerpt from Introduction to Uses and Interpretation of Principal Component Analysis in Forest Biology
Our objective is to introduce pca to the forest biologist. Who has had an expo sure to introductory statistics, and likely applies anova, correlation, and regression routinely, but who has not made the jump to multivariate techniques. Our intent is to demonstrate through detailed examination of two applications the utility of princi pal component analysis in helping solve re search problems in forest biology.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how principles of multivariate statistical analysis may be applied to forest biology. The author provides a detailed walkthrough of two case study applications of principal component analysis (PCA), a key multivariate technique. They use PCA to reduce the number of variables under consideration, evaluate multivariate data, and identify biological variables for further experimentation. PCA is a useful tool for researchers seeking to simplify complex data sets. The author presents both the benefits and limitations of this technique. This book serves as an introduction to PCA for the forest biologist and offers a fresh approach to studying complex forest biology data sets. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
