Real-world problems and data sets are the backbone of this groundbreaking book. Applied Multivariate Statistics with SAS® Software, Second Edition provides a unique approach to this topic, integrating statistical methods, data analysis, and applications. Now extensively revised, the book includes new information on * mixed effects models * applications of the MIXED procedure * regression diagnostics with the correspoding IML procedure code * covariance structures. The authors' approach to the information aids professors, researchers, and students in a variety of disciplines and industries. Extensive SAS code and the corresponding output accompany sample problems, and clear explanations of the various SAS procedures are included. Emphasis is on correct interpretation of the output to draw meaningful conclusions. Featuring both the theoretical and the practical, topics covered include multivariate analysis of experimental data and repeated measures data, graphical representation of data including biplots, and multivariate regression.
