یک کتاب کاربردی در زمینه تحلیل داده های چند متغیری برای دانشجویان تحصیلات تکمیلی در حوزه علوم زیستی هستش که در آن تمامی تحلیلهای آماری با استفاده از نرم افزار آر انجام شده است. کدهای عالی و داده های کتاب رو هم میشه از وب براحتی گرفت .

This book is as the title states: a primer on multivariate statistics. The coverage is good with enough details to understand the different methods. There isn't much hard-core theory.

Really difficult to follow. "Uses" R but doesn't make it easy to replicate code.
