Summary: One of the best summary books from chemometrics. Rating: 5
Nowadays the science and research of the quantitative relationhips between chemical structure of compounds and their physico-chemical, chromatographic (or any other scientifically measurable) behaviour are in the ascendant. This rising begun with the wide-spread of cheap computational capacity and resulting the development of many new multivariate mathematical-statistical methods. These are more and more refined and more and more easier to use them and give more and more information to the hand of scientists. The main problem, however, still exists: there is no statistically acceptable mmethod for measuring the significance level of multivariate methods. Therefore it is basically important for anybody, who wants to use multivariate methods to draw inferences from its results, to exactly know its mathematical background and employment fields.
These books are extremely useful for anybody who wants to learn about the newest methods and to use more suitably the 'older' ones. Finally, this opus is worthy continuation of Chatfield %26amp; Collins's book of "Introduction to Multivariate Analysis" and hoping become a basic handbook for any scientists.
