We live in a world driven by data. Yet, data alone holds no value unless we can extract meaningful insights from it. Multivariate data analysis provides the essential tools to unlock this potential.
This book offers an easy-to-understand introduction to the most important methods of multivariate data analysis. With a strong application focus, it requires only basic knowledge of mathematics and statistics. The methods are demonstrated through numerical examples and illustrated with detailed case studies. Additionally, the introductory chapter refreshes key statistical fundamentals relevant to all methods covered in the book.
For the 3rd edition, all chapters have been thoroughly reviewed and recalculated using the latest version of IBM SPSS.
