The present collection of multivariate applications introduces some of the kinds of research problem that can be tackled by means of multivariate statistical analysis.

Social research often springs from humanistic empathy and concern as much as from scholarly and scientific curiosity. An economist might observe that black Americans are disproportionately poor, and investigate racial differences in education, employment, and occupation that account for disproportionate poverty. A table comparing additional income blacks and whites can expect for each additional year of education is thus as interestin...
