This book is an introduction to the principles and methodology of modern multivariate statistical analysis. It is written for the user and potential user of multivariate techniques as well as for postgraduate students coming to the subject for the first time. The emphasis is problem-orientated and stresses geometrical intuition in preference to algebraic manipulation. Mathematical sections, which are not essential for a practical understanding of the techniques, are clearly indicated so that they may be skipped by the non-specialist. Recent developments concerning discrete and mixed variable techniques are presented as well as continuous variable techniques. This book offers a practical account of the subject for research workers in subjects as diverse as anthropology, education, industry, medicine and taxonomy.
