Download or read book Theory of Multivariate Statistics written by Martin Bilodeau and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended as a textbook for students taking a first graduate course in the subject, as well as for the general reference of interested research workers, this text discusses, in a readable form, developments from recently published work on certain broad topics not otherwise easily accessible, such as robust inference and the use of the bootstrap in a multivariate setting. A minimum background expected of the reader would include at least two courses in mathematical statistics, and certainly some exposure to the calculus of several variables together with the descriptive geometry of linear algebra.
