From the reviews:
The book deals with discrete multivariate analysis in an effort to bring together in an organised way the extensive theory and practice existing in this field. It is organised in 14 chapters. ... is well addressed to readers from different background and different interests covering a wide range from graduate students in theoretical statistics to quantitative biological or social scientists, applied statisticians and other quantitative research workers looking for comprehensive analyses of discrete multivariate data.
