UNT AGNESS is always a roblem but particularly at hristmas. Her inquiring turn of and, which normally expresses self as incurable malicious -ying, then directs itself to the )st, quality and general lacceptability of my gift to her. This year I am gratifying her lalytical talents with a costly American volume entitled Survey Sampling and Multivariate Methods for Social Scientists and Engineers. According to a review it "addresses the design of survey instruments for surveys of human populations and provides anecdotal examples from the field of transportation planning.
"In multivariate analysis, the book covers linear-regression analysis, simultaneous equations methods, canonical correlation, principalcomponents analysis and elementary factor analysis, discriminant analysis, probit analysis and logit analysis."
That, I reckon, should leave the evil old trout speechless.
