ABSTRACT
Chapters 3 and 4 present a very idiosyncratic view of multivariate analysis and reflect what the author has found useful in statistical practice. They stress exploration, virtually ignore tests of significance, and emphasize a particular graphical technique developed by the author - the biplot display. The author hopes that this material will help readers obtain a better grasp of the structure of multivariate data and the fundamentals of multivariate analysis. He also hopes that the chapters will be useful to readers who wish to pursue multivariate analysis in its more classical form, to which references are given.
