Product Description: Book

Product Description: This expanded edition is concerned with the analysis of data obtained by counts, presented as frequencies, and subject to multiple classification. The book describes the principle concepts of analyzing categorical data, explaining how the commonly used statistical procedures are derived...read more

This revised edition presents the relevant aspects of transformational geometry, matrix algebra, and calculus to those who may be lacking the necessary mathematical foundations of applied multivariate analysis. It brings up-to-date many definitions of mathematical concepts and their operations. It also clearly defines the relevance of the exercises to concerns within the business community and the social and behavioral sciences. Readers gain a technical background for tackling applications-oriented multivariate texts and receive a geometric perspective for understanding multivariate methods.Mathematical Tools for Applied Multivariate Analysis, Revised Edition illustrates major concepts in matrix algebra, linear structures, and eigenstructures geometrically, numerically, and algebraically. The authors emphasize the applications of these techniques by discussing potential solutions to problems outlined early in the book. They also present small numerical examples of the various concepts. Key Features* Provides a technical base for tackling most applications-oriented multivariate texts* Presents a geometric perspective for aiding ones intuitive grasp of multivariate methods* Emphasizes technical terms current in the social and behavioral sciences, statistics, and mathematics* Can be used either as a stand-alone text or a supplement to a multivariate statistics textbook* Employs many pictures and diagrams to convey an intuitive perception of matrix algebra concepts* Toy problems provide a step-by-step approach to each model and matrix algebra concept* Provides solutions for all exercises (view table of contents)

Helps any serious data analyst with a computer to recognize the strengths and limitations of data, to test the assumptions implicit in the least squares methods used to fit the data, to select appropriate forms of the variables, to judge which combinations of variables are most influential, and to state the conditions under which the fitted equations are applicable. This edition includes numerous extensions and new devices such as component and component-plus-residual plots, cross verification with a second sample, and an index of required x-precision; also, the search for better subset equations is enlarged to cover 262,144 alternatives. The methods described have been applied in agricultural, environmental, management, marketing, medical, physical, and social sciences. Mathematics is kept to the level of college algebra.

Product Description: There are writing/highlighting marks in the book (we noticed underlining on a few pages) . Almost all of the 475 pages are clean and binding is tight.

Product Description: Book by Nishisato, Shizuhiko

Product Description: Multivariate methods are employed widely in the analysis of experimental data but are poorly understood by those users who are not statisticians. This is because of the wide divergence between the theory and practice of multivariate methods...read more

Product Description: Ecologists are making increasing use of computer methods in analyzing ecological data on plant and animal communities. Ecological problems naturally involve numerous variables and numerous individuals or samples. Multivariate techniques permit the summary of large, complex sets of data and provide the means to tackle many problems that cannot be investigated experimentally because of practical restraints...read more

Product Description: An English translation of my "Statistisahe Tafeln zur multivariaten Analysis - Ein Handbuah mit Hinweisen zur Anwendung" was planned already in 1975 when I prepared the German volume. The tables were immediately supplied with German and English headings for the inten- ded photo-offset printing...read more
