Applied multivariate statistics for the social sciences (Sixth Edition)
This edition, like previous editions, is written for those who use, rather than develop,
advanced statistical methods. The focus is on conceptual understanding rather than
proving results. The narrative and many examples are there to promote understanding,
and a chapter on matrix algebra is included for those who need the extra help. Through-
out the book, you will find output from SPSS (version 21) and SAS (version 9.3) with
interpretations. These interpretations are intended to demonstrate what analysis results
mean in the context of a research example and to help you interpret analysis results
properly. In addition to demonstrating how to use the statistical programs effectively,
our goal is to show you the importance of examining data, assessing statistical assump-
tions, and attending to sample size issues so that the results are generalizable. The
text also includes end-of-chapter exercises for many chapters, which are intended to
promote better understanding of concepts and have you obtain additional practice in
conducting analyses and interpreting results. Detailed answers to the odd-numbered
exercises are included in the back of the book so you can check your work.
