Applied MANOVA and Discriminant Analysis (eBook)

A complete introduction to discriminant analysis--extensively
revised, expanded, and updated

This Second Edition of the classic book, Applied
Discriminant Analysis, reflects and references current usage
with its new title, Applied MANOVA and Discriminant
Analysis. Thoroughly updated and revised, this book continues
to be essential for any researcher or student needing to learn to
speak, read, and write about discriminant analysis as well as
develop a philosophy of empirical research and data analysis. Its
thorough introduction to the application of discriminant analysis
is unparalleled.

Offering the most up-to-date computer applications, references,
terms, and real-life research examples, the Second Edition
also includes new discussions of MANOVA, descriptive discriminant
analysis, and predictive discriminant analysis. Newer SAS macros
are included, and graphical software with data sets and programs
are provided on the book's related Web site.

The book features:

* Detailed discussions of multivariate analysis of variance and
covariance

* An increased number of chapter exercises along with selected
answers

* Analyses of data obtained via a repeated measures design

* A new chapter on analyses related to predictive discriminant
analysis

* Basic SPSS(r) and SAS(r) computer syntax and output integrated
throughout the book

Applied MANOVA and Discriminant Analysis enables the
reader to become aware of various types of research questions using
MANOVA and discriminant analysis; to learn the meaning of this
field's concepts and terms; and to be able to design a study that
uses discriminant analysis through topics such as one-factor
MANOVA/DDA, assessing and describing MANOVA effects, and deleting
and ordering variables.
