This book will help you understand how to use the main multivariate methods in the social sciences with minimal requirements for knowledge of statistics and mathematics.

The authors, relying heavily on numerical examples, give you the opportunity to understand in depth the purpose and functioning of the methods, as well as the interpretation of the data.

Features of the book:

- The book (in this second American edition) covers regression analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation models, and multilevel models - It presents many application examples on real data - It covers methods that summarize, describe, and explore multivariate data sets - It establishes a unified view of latent variable models providing detailed coverage of various methods, such as item response theory - On the accompanying website, you will find all the data sets from the book, software to perform latent variable analyses, as well as instructions (in English) for applying the analyses.

Contents of the book: - Cluster analysis - Multidimensional scaling - Correspondence analysis - Principal component analysis - Regression analysis - Factor analysis - Factor analysis for binary data - Factor analysis for ordered categorical variables - Latent class analysis for binary data - Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation models - Multilevel modeling
