Multivariate Statistics: Concepts, Models, and
Applications. This online textbook is an
extension of Introductory Statistics: Concepts, Models, and
Applications book by the same author. Univariate statistical
methods are expanded gradually, first thoroughly exploring bivariate
statistical methods (linear transformations with two variables,
multiple regression with two independent variables) and culminating
with multiple regression models. Analysis of Variance is approached as
a special case of multiple regression. The goal is to provide a path
from the simple case leading to the complex. Includes bibliography and
links to other sites. David W. Stockburger, Southwest Missouri State
University. |
