Title: Multivariate data analysis without equations. Not practical.
Product review: I have some mathematical background and a very basic statistical formation (undergrad class). I bought this book because I needed to actually do some multivariate data analysis, but I obviously bought the wrong book. For starters... the book doesn't have any equations! There are hundreds of pages of prose used to explain concepts that could have been summarized with simple formulas. This is a good book if you are interested in getting an idea of how statisticians or scientist analyze complex data sets, but I doubt it will help you to really understand the techniques, and let alone, implement them. If you are interested in actually using MVDA, then don't waste your money on this book and buy Johnson and Wichern's book instead.
