A Practical Approach to using Multivariate Analyses Using Multivariate Statistics, 6th edition provides advanced undergraduate as well as graduate students with a timely and comprehensive introduction to today's most commonly encountered statistical and multivariate techniques, while assuming only a limited knowledge of higher-level mathematics. This text's practical approach focuses on the benefits and limitations of applications of a technique to a data set - when, why, and how to do it. Learning Goals Upon completing this book, readers should be able to: * Learn to conduct numerous types of multivariate statistical analyses * Find the best technique to use * Understand Limitations to applications * Learn how to use SPSS and SAS syntax and output
