An insightful guide to understanding and visualizing multivariate
statistics using SAS(R), STATA(R), and SPSS(R) Multivariate
Analysis for the Biobehavioral and Social Sciences: A Graphical
Approach outlines the essential multivariate methods for
understanding data in the social and biobehavioral sciences. Using
real-world data and the latest software applications, the book
addresses the topic in a comprehensible and hands-on manner, making
complex mathematical concepts accessible to readers. The authors
promote the importance of clear, well-designed graphics in the
scientific process, with visual representations accompanying the
presented classical multivariate statistical methods . The book
begins with a preparatory review of univariate statistical methods
recast in matrix notation, followed by an accessible introduction
to matrix algebra. Subsequent chapters explore fundamental
multivariate methods and related key concepts, including: * Factor
analysis and related methods * Multivariate graphics * Canonical
correlation * Hotelling's T-squared * Multivariate analysis of
variance (MANOVA) * Multiple regression and the general linear
model (GLM) Each topic is introduced with a research-publication
case study that demonstrates its real-world value. Next, the
question "how do you do that?" is addressed with a complete, yet
simplified, demonstration of the mathematics and concepts of the
method. Finally, the authors show how the analysis of the data is
performed using Stata(R), SAS(R), and SPSS(R). The discussed
approaches are also applicable to a wide variety of modern
extensions of multivariate methods as well as modern univariate
regression methods. Chapters conclude with conceptual questions
about the meaning of each method; computational questions that test
the reader's ability to carry out the procedures on simple
datasets; and data analysis questions for the use of the discussed
software packages. Multivariate Analysis for the Biobehavioral and
Social Sciences is an excellent book for behavioral, health, and
social science courses on multivariate statistics at the graduate
level. The book also serves as a valuable reference for
professionals and researchers in the social, behavioral, and health
sciences who would like to learn more about multivariate analysis
and its relevant applications.
