Perfected over three editions and more than forty years, this field- and classroom-tested reference: * Uses the method of maximum likelihood to a large extent to ensure reasonable, and in some cases optimal procedures. * Treats all the basic and important topics in multivariate statistics. * Adds two new chapters, along with a number of new sections. * Provides the most methodical, up-to-date information on MV statistics available.
The Third Edition features new or more extensive coverage of: Patterns of Dependence and Graphical Models–a new chapter Measures of correlation and tests of independence Reduced rank regression, including the limited-information maximum ...
The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists. ". . . the wealth of material on statistics concerning the multivariate normal distribution is quite exceptional. As such it is a very useful source of information for the general statistician and a must for anyone wanting to penetrate deeper into the multivariate field." -Mededelingen van het Wiskundig Genootschap "This book is a comprehensive and clearly written text on multivariate analysis from a theoretical point of view." -The Statistician Aspects of Multivariate Statistical Theory presents a classical mathematical treatment of the techniques, distributions, and inferences based on multivariate normal distribution. Noncentral distribution theory, decision theoretic estimation of the parameters of a multivariate normal distribution, and the uses of spherical and elliptical distributions in multivariate analysis are introduced. Advances in multivariate analysis are discussed, including decision theory and robustness. The book also includes tables of percentage points of many of the standard likelihood statistics used in multivariate statistical procedures. This definitive resource provides in-depth discussion of the multivariate field and serves admirably as both a textbook and reference.

This one volume treatise presents a comprehensive discussion of moire metrology analysis. The authors work from a new point of view, treating the gratings used in moire analysis as an artificial analog to electromagnetic waves, thereby comparing moire analysis with conventional optical methods based on wave properties such as interferometry. It is shown that for every interferometric technique in metrology, there is an analogous technique in moire metrology and vice versa, and that scientists involved in optical metrology have a real choice between interferometric and moire methods.

an introduction to design, data analysis, and model building
Introduces the philosophy of experimentation and the part that statistics play in experimentation. Emphasizes the need to develop a capability for ``statistical thinking'' by using examples drawn from actual case studies.
Emphasizing research design development, this important work includes a discussion of key methods-experimental designs, survey sampling, and controlled investigations-plus ample tables, figures and problem sets. 1987 (0 471-08359-3) 296 pp.
