Applied Multivariate Data Analysis is an intermediate-level text ideal for students and research workers in the social and behavioural sciences.
After an introduction to data analysis and the statistical knowledge required to use the book, the authors go on to explain the analysis of complex data sets in detail. The up-to-date text includes modern techniques such as multidimensional scaling, cluster analysis, generalized linear models and structural equation models. Special features include emphasis on using methods of data analysis as exploratory tools; importance of searching for patterns in data stressed and exemplified; and interpretation of the output from statistical software.

It is well produced, generally easy to read and reasonably priced. (Biometrics 2002-12-20)
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 reader to the variety of methods by which multivariate statistical analysis may be undertaken. Now in its second edition, Applied Multivariate Data Analysis has been fully expanded and updated, including major chapter revisions as well as new sections on neural networks and random effects models for longitudinal data. Maintaining the easy–going style of the first edition, this title provides clear explanations of each technique, supported by figures and examples, using minimal technical jargon. With extensive exercises following every chapter, the book is a valuable resource for students on applied statistics courses and for applied researchers in many disciplines.
