Multivariate analysis

[koldunovn]

Need help in multivariate analysis!

Can anyone give me the links to the good text books about statistical data analysis in geosciences, especially I interested in multivariate analysis.

Statistical methods in the Atmospheric Sciences, Daniel S. Wilks

This text book is widely referred in Atmospheric Data analysis.

Thank you, vinu, but I actually mean some on-line books. If you, or some one else, have any links to this kind of textbooks, please tell me.

here is a link to Classical Multivariate Analysis (sorry, not in geosciences as
you requested), by Robert J. Boik

Here are two links on Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis of Climate/Ocean data:

A manual for EOF and SVD analyses of climate data.
Halldor Bjornsson and Silvia A. Venegas (1997).
Here they use MatLab to demonstrate the analyses.

Thank you, rocksea!

It’s very useful texts. Actually doesn’t matter is it in geosciences or in the other field, the methods still the same :)
