Multivariate analysis of soybean insect pests
Environmental Entomology 13 (4), 930-934
Abstract: The relative impact on soybeans of 24 arthropod species in 18 states is analyzed using the multivariate technique of reciprocal averaging (RA). This ordination technique is related to both weighted averages and to principal components analysis and other eigenvector techniques. The advantages of RA are discussed in comparison to results obtained by cluster analysis. RA is a useful method in the analysis of complex entomological data.
