An R and S-Plus Companion to Multivariate AnalysisPaperback, 19 October 2010

Most data sets collected by researchers are multivariate, and in the majority of cases the variables need to be examined simultaneously to get the most informative results. This requires the use of one or other of the many methods of multivariate analysis, and the use of a suitable software package such as S-PLUS or R. This book, written by a successful author in the field, covers the core multivariate methodology along with some basic theory for each method described. It provides the necessary R and S-PLUS code for each analysis, with any differences between the two highlighted.
