This textbook provides study materials for the participants of the course named Multivariate Analysis of Ecological Data that we teach at our university for the third year. Material provided here should serve both for the introductory and the advanced versions of the course. We admit that some parts of the text would profit from further polishing, they are quite rough but we hope in further improvement of this text.

We hope that this book provides an easy-to-read supplement for the more exact and detailed publications like the collection of the Dr. Ter Braak'papers and the Canoco for Windows 4.0 manual. In addition to the scope of these publications, this textbook adds information on the classification methods of the multivariate data analysis and introduces some of the modern regression methods most useful in the ecological research.
