Multivariate Analysis for the Biobehavioral and Social Sciences

Multivariate Analysis for the Social Sciences provides clear guidelines combined with the insight needed to understand the methods and applications of multivariate statistics. This easy-to-follow book provides students in social, behavioral, and health science-whose focus is not primarily in mathematics-with an abundance of chapter-ending questions and answers, including: conceptual questions about the meaning of each method; questions that test the reader's ability to carry out the computational procedures on simple datasets; and data analysis questions for using analytical packages to analyze both simplest case data and also to practice with more realistic datasets.
