For anyone in need of a concise, introductory guide to principle components analysis, this book is a must. Through an effective use of simple mathematical geometrical and multiple real-life examples (such as crime statistics, indicators of drug abuse, and educational expenditures)--and by minimizing the use of matrix algebra--the reader can quickly master and put this technique to immediate use. In addition, the author shows how this technique can be used in tandem with other multivariate analysis techniques-such as multiple regression and discriminant analysis.</P>
Flexible in his presentation, Dunteman speaks to students at differing levels, beginning or advanced, bringing them new material that is both accessible and useful.</P>
"Two of the best attributes of the book are the prolific use of good examples--primarily social science based--and the repetition basics. . . . This book is a useful addition to the work in this area."</P>
