T. W. Anderson

An Introduction to Multivariate Statistical Analysis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Second Edition of An Introduction to Multivariate Statistical Analysis has become a standard in the field. Since its publication, several advances have been made in multivariate (MV) statistical analysis. Maintaining the previous edition's mathematically rigorous development of statistical models, the Third Edition substantially revises and adds to the original text to bring statisticians up to date with recent developments in the field.

---

Perfected over three editions and more than forty years, this field- and classroom-tested reference:
_ Uses the method of maximum likelihood to a large extent to ensure reasonable, and in some cases optimal procedures.
_ Treats all the basic and important topics in multivariate statistics.
_ Adds two new chapters, along with a number of new sections.
_ Provides the most methodical, up-to-date information on MV statistics available.

Autorenporträt

Anderson wrote this book as a simple visual tool to make clear that while appearing normal, living with Chronic Fatigue is a life-changing and controlling disease with a complex combination and fluctuation of symptoms that cannot be seen. Adjusting to change, letting go of control, focusing on wellbeing, practicing yoga, and simply trusting and accepting what is has been a profound learning experience for Anderson.
