  • New chapter on partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), an emerging technique which can be applied by researchers in both the academic and business domains.

  • Each chapter highlights the implications of Big Data, underlining the role of multivariate data analysis in this new era of analytics.

  • Extended discussions of emerging topics, including causal treatments/inference (i.e. causal analysis of non-experimental data as well as propensity score models) along with multi-level and panel data models (extending regression into new research areas and providing a framework for cross-sectional/time-series analysis).

  • Each chapter has been updated to reflect technical improvements, (for example adding material on multiple imputation for missing data treatments, and the merging of basic principles from the fields of data mining and its applications).

  • The chapters on SEM have been updated to include: greater emphasis on psychometrics and scale development, discussions on the use of reflective versus formative scaling, an alternative approach for handing interactions (orthogonal moderators), higher order models, multi-group analyses, Bayesian SEM, and revised information on software availability (e.g. Lavaan and SmartPLS). The multi-group discussion also includes an alternative to partial metric invariance when cross-group variance problems are small.

  • Online resources for researchers including continued coverage from past editions of all of the analyses from the latest versions of both SAS and SPSS (commands and outputs).

  • Unique “Rule of Thumb” feature helps students learn how to best use different techniques.

  • Assumes that students will come from a business, rather than mathematics, background. The authors use non-complex language to make complex techniques accessible.

  • Provides an application-oriented introduction to multivariate analysis for the non-statistician.

  • Aimed at students taking postgraduate and high-level graduate degrees across all the business areas.
