"This book provides a thorough introduction to multivariate statistics, applied primarily to drug design. As stated in the book's preface, the book is not a statistical textbook, but rather is meant as a statistical companion to the novice or casual user. In that role, this book succeeds. . . .A person specifically seeking introductory information on drug design and/or QSAR could not find a clearer presentation than this." --Journal of the American Chemical Society
