Excellent high-level overview:
This book is an excellent high-level overview of multivariate statistics and the techniques for working with multivariate data. It doesn't go into detail making it a very good read for people wanting to learn multivariate concepts.
Reading and Understanding Multivariate Statistics by Grimm:
A good resource for someone taking a psyc stat class.
Fantastic Treatment of Sophisticated Mathemeatical Concepts:
I've long wanted a better explanation of Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues than I recieved in a econometrics or statistics textbook. This book gives me an incredibly clear understanding of what they are. Now when I look back at the mathematical interpretation again it means so much more. This is a fantastic book that would highly recommend to anyone wanting a clear conceptual understanding of these sophisticated topics. 5 stars, no questions about it!
Great Resource for Statistics:
In many introductory statistics courses you usually do not cover multivariate statistics. This book and its companion volume are useful for anyone in upper level undergraduate or graduate programs. It is a great reference to have when planning research.
You can read it all at once to get a general understanding of this area or you can look at it as you need it as a reference. It was much better than the statistics books I have had as required reading in courses. It's a great resource overall!
