Applied multivariate statistical analysis

With a wealth of examples and exercises, this is a brand new edition of a classic work on multivariate data analysis. A key advantage of the work is its accessibility. This is because, in its focus on applications, the book presents the tools and concepts of multivariate data analysis in a way that is understandable for non-mathematicians and practitioners who need to analyze statistical data. In this second edition a wider scope of methods and applications of multivariate statistical analysis is introduced. All quantlets have been translated into the R and Matlab language and are made available online.
