This book is an introduction to the principles and methodology of modern multivariate statistical analysis. It's emphasis is problem-oriented and stresses geometrical intuition in preference to algebraic manipulation. Mathematical sections that are not essential for practical understanding of the techniques are clearly indicated so that they may be skipped if necessary. Discrete and mixed variable techniques are presented as well as continuous variable techniques. New additions to this update include references, a survey of the most recent developments and a new appendix which traces developments that have taken place in the years since publication of the first edition.
