Beschreibung
The authors present tools and concepts of multivariate data analysis by means of exercises and their solutions. The first part is devoted to graphical techniques. The second part deals with multivariate random variables and presents the derivation of estimators and tests for various practical situations. The last part introduces a wide variety of exercises in applied multivariate data analysis. The book demonstrates the application of simple calculus and basic multivariate methods in real life situations. It contains altogether 234 solved exercises which can assist a university teacher in setting up a modern multivariate analysis course. All computer-based exercises are available in the R or XploRe languages. The corresponding libraries are downloadable from the Springer link web pages and from the author’s home pages.
Wolfgang Härdle is Professor of Statistics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He studied mathematics, computer science and physics at the University of Karlsruhe and received his Dr.rer.nat. at the University of Heidelberg. Later he had positions at Frankfurt and Bonn before he became professeur ordinaire at Université Catholique de Louvain. His current research topic is modelling of implied volatilities and the quantitative analysis of financial markets.
Zdenek Hlávka studied mathematics at the Charles University in Prague and biostatistics at Limburgs Universitair Centrum in Diepenbeek. Later he held a position at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin before he became a member of the Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics at Charles University in Prague.
An ideal text for undergraduates in disciplines related to economics, this book could also help a university lecturer set up a modern multivariate analysis course. The authors have cleverly used exercises and their solutions to explore the concepts of multivariate data analysis. Broken down into three sections, this book has been structured to allow students in economics and finance to work their way through a well formulated exploration of this core topic. The book demonstrates the application of basic calculus and multivariate methods in real life situations. It contains more than 200 solved exercises, all of which are available in the R or XploRe languages. The corresponding libraries are downloadable from the Springer link web pages and from the author’s home pages.
Considers techniques like Conjoint Measurement Analyses, Applications to Finance, Projection Pursuit and SIR techniques that are not found typically in multivariate textbooks Data sets discussed in the book can be downloaded and analyzed by every statistical package Online version powered by XploRe allows immediate calculation of formulae

“In general, I find this book particularly instructive, by discussing various techniques and analytical tools via exercises with rigorous solutions. The computer codes for computer-based exercises are available in R or XploRe languages through the Springer link web pages and from the authors’ home pages. The web links also provide access to real datasets used in the book. This is a very useful exercise book for students and instructors as well as for nonexperts using in applied multivariate data analysis. There has been large demand for techniques to handle and analyze high-dimensional data. In this regard, the book would be a good reference for researchers and students working in the theory or applications of multivariate statistical analysis.” (Journal of the American Statistical Association, Dec. 2009, Vol. 104, No. 488)
