An updated, 3rd English edition of the most widely cited book on quantitative analysis of multivariate ecological dataRelates ecological questions to methods of statistical analysis, with a clear description of complex numerical methodsAll methods are illustrated by examples from the ecological literature so that ecologists clearly see how to use the methods and approaches in their own researchAll calculations are available in R language functions
