Provides the most methodical, up--to--date information on MV statistics available.

About this title

Review

"...suitable for a graduate-level course on multivariate analysis...an important reference on the bookshelves of many scientific researchers and most practicing statisticians." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, September 2004)

"...really well written. The edition will be certainly welcomed..." (Zentralblatt Math, Vo.1039, No.08, 2004)

"...a wonderful textbook...that covers the mathematical theory of multivariate statistical analysis..." (Clinical Chemistry, Vol. 50, No. 2, May 2004)

"...remains an authoritative work that can still be highly recommended..." (Short Book Reviews, 2004)

"...still a very serious and comprehensive book on the statistical theory of multivariate analysis." (Technometrics, Vol. 46, No. 1, February 2004)

"...remains a mathematically rigorous development of statistical methods for observations consisting of several measurements or characteristics of each subject and a study of their properties." (Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. LXI, No. 4, December 2003)

From the Back Cover

A classic comprehensive sourcebook, now fully updated

For more than four decades An Introduction to Multivariate Statistical Analysis has been an invaluable text for students and a resource for professionals wishing to acquire a basic knowledge of multivariate statistical analysis. Since the previous edition, the field has grown significantly. This updated and improved Third Edition familiarizes readers with these new advances, elucidating several aspects that are particularly relevant to methodology and comprehension.

The Third Edition features new or more extensive coverage of:

• Patterns of Dependence and Graphical Models-a new chapter
• Measures of correlation and tests of independence
• Reduced rank regression, including the limited-information maximum-likelihood estimator of an equation in a simultaneous equations model
• Elliptically contoured distributions

Incorporation of the advice and comments of the readers of the first two editions as well as extensively classroom-tested techniques and calculations makes An Introduction to Multivariate Statistical Analysis, Third Edition, more valuable than ever for both professional statisticians and students of multivariate statistics.
