This is a programmatic statement of Gifi's general philosophy and the way in which it is implemented on the digital computer. It is a non-standard treatment of multivariate data analysis, with the emphasis on plotting observations and variables in low dimensional Euclidean space. Less emphasis than usual is given to regression and analysis of variance.;The book is organized around various key techniques, and these techniques are identified with computer programs and the type of output they reproduce. The inferential methods of statistics are explicitly introduced as one of various ways in which the stability of data analysis tools can be investigated.
