Opis

This book provides an introduction to the analysis of multivariate data

Recenzje

"The book's simplicity of approach and clear presentation make it a good choice for an undergraduate course or a self-study course in multivariate analysis."
-Journal of the American Statistical Association
"The original aims of the book are fulfilled remarkably well, thus providing a text which is to be welcomed into an area where there has been a recent dearth of introductory material."
