Multivariate Applications Series
Sponsored by the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology,
the goal of this series is to apply complex statistical methods to sig-
nifi cant social or behavioral issues, in such a way so as to be accessible
to a nontechnical readership (e.g., non-methodological researchers, teach-
ers, students, government personnel, practitioners, and other profession-
als). Applications from a variety of disciplines such as psychology, public
health, sociology, education, and business are welcome. Books can be
single- or multiple-authored or edited volumes that (1) demonstrate the
application of a variety of multivariate methods to a single, major area of
research; (2) describe a multivariate procedure or framework that could be
applied to a number of research areas; or (3) present a variety of perspec-
tives on a topic of interest to applied multivariate researchers.
There are currently 17 books in the series:
• What if there were no signifi cance tests? co-edited by Lisa L. Harlow,
Stanley A. Mulaik, and James H. Steiger (1997)
