Using Multivariate Statistics

This reader-friendly text presents complex multivariate statistical techniques in an accessible, applied format suited for researchers who may not be statisticians. It emphasizes practical decision-making—when, why, and how to apply each method. Topics include multiple regression, ANCOVA, MANOVA, profile and discriminant analysis, logistic regression, structural equation modeling, multilevel modeling, factor analysis, and time-series analysis. The 7th edition is updated with tools like IBM SPSS and SAS syntax, procedures for missing data imputation, relative importance measures, and expert-system guidance for choosing appropriate techniques.
