”Multivariate Analysis” is an excellent choice for bachelor and master students likewise. It depicts even advanced methods with clarity from an application-oriented perspective with many examples and hands-on implementation exercises, and still provides important details for scientific work. The book has a very good – and rarely found – balance between clarity and depth, and the reader can use them to acquire new knowledge or as a reference work. Even my PhD students use it for getting familiar with methods they do not know yet.

The textbook "Multivariate Analysis" is absolutely unique: it has already simplified the lives of generations of students and helped them survive an exam. The relevance of the book has increased due to the growing importance of data analytics. And: The English edition of the work has been long awaited, as there is no 1 : 1 comparable textbook in English. Thus, the compendium can finally be used as basic reading in internationally oriented lectures and exercises.

The book 'Multivariate Analysis' impresses with an easily accessible presentation of eight classic methods of multivariate data analysis and a helpful online appendix. I use it in my international courses with students of psychology, sociology and political science. The English edition corres-ponds to the 16th edition in German - the central reference in my German-language courses for over 15 years.

The authors can look back on more than 30 years of experience in the conception and design of easy comprehensible and user-oriented statistical textbooks. The resulting wealth of experience is equally evident in the clear structure and content of the chapters. Based on illustrative examples, the practical application of the various multivariate methods becomes clear. Not only students, but also quantitatively researching scientists will appreciate the mathematical representations, the catchy summaries, and the indication of the respective SPSS commands.

Written by a highly accomplished author team, Multivariate Data Analysis offers an excellent intro-duction into fundamental research methods. The book stands out due to its numerous pedagogical features and a highly engaging writing style that makes even complex data analysis techniques ac-cessible to students, researchers, and practitioners alike. Highly recommended!

The book “Multivariate Analysis” is an excellent and comprehensive standard work for data analysis and modelling. It is written for beginners as well as for advanced users with many examples and practical advice. In the field of Architecture and Real Estate Management, multivariate analysis methods provide a fundamental basis for valid cost predictions, benchmarking studies and trend analyses regarding different market developments, property characteristics and operational models, for instance.

The German classic on multivariate data analysis is now finally available in an English version. The contents correspond to the 16th edition of the German book. An indispensable basis for all scientific research works.

The new book on "Multivariate Analysis" is not a standalone product. It is integrated into a comprehensive platform concept. Through many supplements and additional information offered on the Internet, a modern, interactive medium is created in which the book itself provides only one element. I congratulate the authors to this truly innovative concept.
