ABSTRACT
By default of additional variables, multivariate statistics are more advanced, which may sometimes operationally be defined as more complex and/or more difficult to understand. However, the short-term pain of learning more advanced procedures equates to long-term gain of having a more powerful toolbox with which to work. An added bonus: Multivariate statistical procedures are just really fun. The types of questions that can be explored are nearly limitless, and the interpretations of the data are incredibly rich. Once you have one or two multivariate statistics under your belt, you’ll never want to run a t test or correlation again!
