The book presents multivariate statistical methods useful in geological analysis. The special justification for this book is that it is concerned with the elementary consideration of the special types of multidimensional problems that occur in Geology and which are never, or are only summarily, considered in other places (e.g., textbooks dealing with multivariate statistics) and which cannot always be correctly analysed by commercially available software.
The essential distinction between multivariate analysis as applied to full-space data (measurements on lengths, heights, breadths etc.) and compositional data is emphasized with particular reference to geochemical data.
