Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

This book introduces the most commonly used techniques for dealing with multivariate data; the sort of multi-species multi-chemical data sets that are routinely encountered in environmental investigations. It assumes prior knowledge of multivariate analyses and requires no mathematics beyond simple linear equations. The topics covered include diversity indices, multiple regression, cluster analysis, and the commoner ordination techniques (principal components analysis, detreded correspondance analysis and canonical correspondence analysis). Other less used ordinations (Bray-Curtis, Correspondence Analysis) are where this helps understanding of the most commonly used techniques. Where suitable, the author shows how to construct biplots and triplots, and how to run Monte-Carlo testing. Each technique is illustrated by worked examples using simple, familiar data sets, and the key features of the output from standard software packages is explained. Pitfalls for the unwary are highlighted wherever they occur. Appendices list and explain the acronyms that can make some published research impenetrable. The availablity of each multivariate techlnique in all major software packages is listed, to help users choose the software suitable for them. The overall aim of the book is to introduce inexperienced users gently to the multivariate analytical tools available to them.
