This textbook extends univariate procedures with one dependent variable to analogous multivariate techniques involving several dependent variables, and finds functions of variables that discriminate among groups in the data and that reveal the basic dimensionality and characteristic patterns of the data. The second edition adds two chapters on cluster analysis and graphical techniques.
