Advanced and Multivariate Statistical Methods, Seventh Edition provides conceptual and practical information regarding multivariate statistical techniques to students who do not necessarily need technical and/or mathematical expertise in these methods.This text has three main purposes. The first purpose is to facilitate conceptual understanding of multivariate statistical methods by limiting the technical nature of the discussion of those concepts and focusing on their practical applications. The second purpose is to provide students with the skills necessary to interpret research articles that have employed multivariate statistical techniques. Finally, the third purpose of AMSM is to prepare graduate students to apply multivariate statistical methods to the analysis of their own quantitative data or that of their institutions.New to the Seventh EditionAll references to SPSS have been updated to Version 27.0 of the software.A brief discussion of practical significance has been added to Chapter 1.New data sets have now been incorporated into the book and are used extensively in the SPSS examples.All the SPSS data sets utilized in this edition are available for download via the companion website.Additional resources on this site include several video tutorials/walk-throughs of the SPSS procedures. These "how-to" videos run approximately 5–10 minutes in length.Advanced and Multivariate Statistical Methods was written for use by students taking a multivariate statistics course as part of a graduate degree program, for example in psychology, education, sociology, criminal justice, social work, mass communication, and nursing.

Advanced and Multivariate Statistical Methods, Eighth Edition, offers conceptual and practical insights into multivariate statistical techniques, designed for students without requiring deep technical or mathematical expertise.This updated text facilitates conceptual understanding of multivariate statistical methods by limiting the technical nature of the discussion of those concepts and focusing on their practical applications. It equips students with the tools to critically evaluate research articles that utilize these techniques and prepares graduate students to apply multivariate methods in analyzing their own quantitative data or that of their institutions.This new edition has resources for instructors and students, including an online test bank, downloadable data sets, and “how to” videos of the SPSS procedures, available via the companion website (www.routledge.com/cw/mertler) and signposted throughout the book for easy reference. A brief discussion of practical significance has also been added to Chapter 1.This book is tailored for students taking a multivariate statistics course in graduate programs across a range of fields, including psychology, education, sociology, criminal justice, social work, mass communication, and nursing.
