[Taxacom] Principal Components Analaysis - help with a goodreference and software

[Richard Zander]

Multivariate Data Analysis. J. F. Hair, Jr., et al. Second Ed. is pretty
good. 
For software, try PAST 
http://folk.uio.no/ohammer/past
a free stat program that is phenomenal.

Could someone please recommend me a good student text (print or internet
site) explaining the theory and practice of Principal Components
Analysis as it is applied to assessing morphological variation in
biology?

 

I am also looking around at various software options for PCA, so advice
on this would also be very helpful.

 

Regards

Mark
