For advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Social Statistics. 

An in-depth introduction to today’s most commonly used statistical and multivariate techniques 

Using Multivariate Statistics, 7th Edition presents complex statistical procedures in a way that is maximally useful and accessible to researchers who may not be statisticians. The authors focus on the benefits and limitations of applying  a technique to a data set – when, why, and how to do it. Only a limited knowledge of higher-level mathematics is assumed. 

Students using this text will learn to conduct numerous types of multivariate statistical analyses; find the best technique to use; understand limitations to applications; and learn how to use SPSS and SAS syntax and output.
