Noted for its breadth and depth of coverage of multivariate statistics and its emphasis on power, this classic text focuses on a conceptual understanding of the material rather than on proving results. Numerous examples, along with use of SAS and SPSS, indicate what the numbers mean and how to interpret the results.
The new edition maintains the tradition of the great Stevens book (with clear examples using both SAS/SPSS) while incorporating important new information. I also appreciate that this new edition gives more attention to the APA-style write-ups. I look forward to using the 6th edition of this text in my class.
--Chris Oshima, Professor, Georgia State University
This new edition of Applied Multivariate Statistics for the Social Sciences is even more comprehensive; covering major advanced topics in the social sciences combined with excellent computer-based examples, in-depth discussions, and example write-ups. Yet, it is written in an accessible way that students will find useful and comprehensible.

While Stevens has always been my "go to" book for multivariate statistics, the revised 6th Edition by Pituch and Stevens improves significantly on the previous version with key chapter revisions and additions, as well as new analysis summaries and results write-ups. -Philip Schatz, Saint Joseph's University, USA
The revised 6th edition by Pituch and Stevens is a very valuable and well-written text that provides students with all they need to understand and apply multivariate data analysis. The authors did a great job in revising the chapters, and the new coverage of binary logistic regression, multivariate multilevel modeling, and missing data analysis are a "must" for both applied researchers and graduate students. -Karin Schermelleh-Engel, Goethe University, Germany
