Eine neuartige, aber sorgfältig getestete Methode des multivariaten Permutationtests kommt in diesem Band zur Sprache. Elegant unterteilt der Autor jedes Problem in seine Komponenten und wendet, wo es möglich ist, nichtparametrische Kombinationsverfahren an, um allgemeine Lösungen zu ermitteln. Der Vorteil dieser parameterfreien Ansätze liegt darin, daß keinerlei Annahmen bezüglich der Verteilung einer Population getroffen werden müssen. Viele Fallstudien und Beispiele illustrieren die Theorie. Die beiliegende CD enthält Software und Datensätze zum selbständigen Durcharbeiten der Beispiele.
