Applied Statistics: From Bivariate Through Multivariate Techniques

With an approach that does not require formal mathematics training (equations are accompanied by verbal explanations), this textbook provides a clear introduction to widely used topics in multivariate statistics, including Multiple Regression, Discriminant Analysis, MANOVA, Factor Analysis, and Binary Logistic Regression. Each chapter presents a complete empirical research example to illustrate the application of a specific method, such as Multiple Regression. Although SPSS examples are used throughout the book, the conceptual material will be helpful for users of different programs. Each chapter has a glossary and comprehension questions.
