Applied multivariate statistics has grown into a research area of
almost unlimited potential in the natural sciences. The methods
introduced in this book can successfully reduce masses of data to
manageable and interpretable form. The authors give special
attention to methods of robust estimation and the identification of
atypical and influential observations. This textbook aims to
introduce students of the natural sciences to the powerful
technique of factor analysis and to provide them with the
background necessary to be able to undertake analyses on their own.
The authors explain new concepts in detail, and provide
mathematical background where needed.
