Editorial Review: Well-suited for the non-statistician, this applications-oriented introduction to multivariate analysis focuses on the fundamental concepts that affect the use of specific techniques rather than the mathematical derivation of the technique. Provides an overview of several techniques and approaches that are available to analysts today — e.g., data warehousing and data mining, neural networks and resampling/bootstrapping. Chapters are organized to provide a practical, logical progression of the phases of analysis and to group similar types of techniques applicable to most situations.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Multivariate data analysis without equations. Not practical.
I have some mathematical background and a very basic statistical formation (undergrad class). I bought this book because I needed to actually do some multivariate data analysis, but I obviously bought the wrong book. For starters... the book doesn't have any equations! There are hundreds of pages of prose used to explain concepts that could have been summarized with simple formulas. This is a good book if you are interested in getting an idea of how statisticians or scientist analyze complex data ... Read More
Rating:  - Ph.D. student actually likes this stats book...
I've used several texts in my Ph.D. program but this one was by far the best. While I can't speak to the completeness, as a student I have found this one to have adequate examples, well written explanations, and has served as an excellent reference work for those times when I have needed to use the statistics that I have forgotten everything about except the fact that they exist.
If a prof. has made this a "recommended" (but not required) text and you are on the fence about getting it, ... Read More
Rating: - Best general Multivariate stats book
This is without question THE BEST introduction to Multivariate Statistics book currently available. It is designed for the user of the techniques, not someone who wants to examine the math underlying the techniques. I have created a collection of the various editions of this book and I have all of them going from the 1st edition to the current one. Personally I really likely the 2nd and 3rd editions but the current one is also very good. Whether you are interested in Exploratory Factor Analysis, ... Read More
Rating: - Probably the best advanced stats book ever written...GOD bless the authors!
Over the course of my undergrad, grad, and post grad, I have read a variety of statistics books. Without a doubt, Hair's Multivariate Data Analysis is THE BEST book of them all. Here is a brief outline of the awesome features of the book:
1. The book itself is very well organized - chapter order and the order within each chapter helps the reader in knowing what is coming next and provides a sense of direction. I think this is a very important feature for any book to have especially when ... Read More
Rating: - Sure it's good, and a good price by the pund too!
A pretty good overview and a lot of in-depth material on Multivariate data analysis. Not quite a bed time read though.
I recommend this book as part of your analytical library.
If you liked this book, another good book on multivariate data analysis you may want to check out as well is Sharma, S.; Applied Multivariate Techniques, New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996.
If you want something easier to read/more practical, and you prefer SPSS over SAS you may ... Read More
