Synopsis

This second edition incorporates a new chapter on applications, new problem sets for each chapter, and a thorough updating on all topics to constitute an even more valuable reference. In addition to meeting the demand for a rigorous theoretical discussion of this increasingly important area of mathematics for research, engineering, electronics, and all kinds of economic and population studies, the book offers numerous relevant examples worked-out in detail and extensive new coverage of engineering and science applications, nonlinear difference equations, and leading-edge techniques.

About this title

Review

For the past 20 years, whenever I had and occasion to review a multivariate methodthis was the book that I grabbed first. These books kept the mathematical content to the minimally necessary material and used a wealth of nice examples. One of its attractions is that it is a practical text that works well with nonstatisticians who have had a decent statistics course. It also continues to be an excellent book for the statistician's bookshelf. Technometrics, November 2004 "This book is an excellent presentation of computer-aided multivariate analysis. I believe that it will be a very useful addition to any scholarly libraryit provides a comprehensive introduction to available techniques for analyzing data of this form, written in a style that should appeal to non-specialists as well as to statisticians." -Zentralblatt MATH 105
