This graduate textbook will serve as a reference in multivariate analysis for students and researchers from a large number of areas. The book integrates statistical theory and practice, and includes the analysis of several large real-data sets.
From a review:
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION
"... is actually a very unique book that differs considerably from other multivariate texts. Flury should be applauded for his intention and effort to produce a new type of multivariate book that is neither a comprehensive theoretical treatise nor an encyclopedic methods cookbook. ... it is a welcome addition to the multivariate statistics literature. This is a well-written book with vivid and lively discussions."
