TL;DR: In this paper, some aspects of the geometrical interpretation of Principal Component, Principal Coordinates, Canonical Variate and Factor Analysis are discussed, with stress given to implicit assumptions not always realized; some special cases of principal components analysis are included.
Abstract: Summary MANY multivariate statistical methods may be regarded as techniques for investigating a sample space in which each sample member is represented by a point. Some aspects of the geometrical interpretation of Principal Components, Principal Coordinates, Canonical Variate and Factor Analysis are discussed, with stress given to implicit assumptions not always realized; some special cases of principal components analysis are included. The angular representation of samples is discussed and the inter-relationship between the hierarchical representation of a sample and its spatial representation briefly described.

TL;DR: The evaluation of total error in survey findings has been largely neglected as discussed by the authors, and confidence intervals and other common tools deal only with random and occasionally other limited errors, such as limited errors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline some of the statistical and computer techniques which are available for the study of variation in taxonomic research, and suggest their purposes, and evolve a practical strategy for taxonomic analysis which is based on measured variables rather than upon qualitative attributes.
Abstract: Summary IN this paper an attempt is made to outline some of the statistical and computer techniques which are available for the study of variation in taxonomic research. It is not intended to discuss the mathematics of the techniques, or their derivation, but rather to suggest their purposes, and to evolve a practical strategy for taxonomic research which is based on measured variables rather than upon qualitative attributes.
