<p>Increasingly, researchers need to perform multivariate statistical analyses on their data. Unfortunately, a lack of mathematical training prevents many from taking advantage of these advanced techniques, in part, because books focus on the theory and neglect explaining how to perform and interpret multivariate analyses on real-life data. For years, Afifi and Clark's Computer-Aided Multivariate Analysis has been a welcome exception, helping researchers choose the appropriate analyses for their data, carry them out and interpret the results. Only a limited knowledge of statistics is assumed and geometrical and graphical explanations are used to explain what the analyses do. However, the basic model is always given and assumptions are discussed. In this edition, the computer emphasis is enhanced by the inclusion of three additional statistical packages written for the personal computer. The authors also discuss data entry, database management, data screening, data transformations, as well as multivariate data analysis. This book will be useful to professionals, researchers, and students in a wide range of fields ranging from psychology, sociology and physical sciences to public health and biomedical science.</p>
