The book has also served the wider statistical community to further their understanding of this field. Plans for the second edition started almost 20 years ago, and we have struggled with questions about which topics to add- something of a moving target in a field which has continued to evolve in this new era of "big data". Since the first edition was published, multivariate analysis has been developed and extended in many directions. This new edition aims to bring the first edition up to date by substantial revision, rewriting and additions, whilst seeking to maintain the overall length of the book. The basic approach has been maintained, namely, a mathematical treatment of statistical methods for observations consisting of several measurements or characteristics of each subject and a study of their properties. The core topics, and the structure many of the chapters, have been retained"--cProvided by publisher. 0aMultivariate analysis1 aKent, J. T.q(John T.),ejoint author.1 aBibby, J.
