  APA Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The most commonly used multivariate techniques are examined in detail: multiple regression and correlation, path analysis, principal-components analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, multidimensional scaling, analysis of cross-classified data, logistic regression, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), discriminant analysis, and meta-analysis.
Statistical notations are explained, underlying assumptions are described, and terms are defined clearly and understandably.
Multivariate Statistics is an ideal companion to any multivariate research text for performing these analyses, so in addition to research consumers it will be helpful to students and investigators learning to use a particular analysis for the first time.

 Multivariate statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multivariate statistics or multivariate statistical analysis in statistics describes a collection of procedures which involve observation and analysis of more than one statistical variable at a time.
Logistic regression allows to perform a regression analysis to estimate and test the influence of covariates on a binary response.
Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) methods extend analysis of variance methods to cover cases where there is more than one dependent variable and where the dependent variables cannot simply be combined.

 Multivariate Statistics for Wildlife and Ecology Research
With its focus on the practical application of the techniques of multivariate statistics, this book shapes the powerful tools of statistics for the specific needs of ecologists and makes statistics more applicable to their course of study.
Multivariate Statistics for Wildlife and Ecology Research gives the reader a solid conceptual understanding of the role of multivariate statistics in ecological applications and the relationships among various techniques, while avoiding detailed mathematics and underlying theory.
Whether used as a textbook for specialized courses or as a supplement to general statistics texts, the book emphasizes those techniques that students of ecology and natural resources most need to understand and employ in their research.
