Multivariate Applications Series

Sponsored by the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology, the goal of this series is to apply complex statistical methods to significant social or behavioral issues, in such a way so as to be accessible to a nontechnical-oriented readership (e.g., nonmethodological researchers, teachers, students, government personnel, practitioners, and other professionals). Applications from a variety of disciplines such as psychology, public health, sociology, education, and business are welcome. Books can be single- or multiple-authored or edited volumes that (a) demonstrate the application of a variety of multivariate methods to a single, major area of research; (b) describe a multivariate procedure or framework that could be applied to a number of research areas; or (c) present a variety of perspectives on a topic of interest to applied multivariate researchers.

There are currently 19 books in the series:
