Description

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.
