Multivariate Statistics

In the last months I have shifted from Bioinformatics (Genomics) to Chemometrics research. However, one thing that remains to addressed is my poor knowledge of statistics. One way of coping with this lack of knowledge is reading statistics books and books that deals with statistics using a programming language or a package. One of these books i have found and it's totally free (thanks to the Open Text Book initiative) is Multivariate Statistics with R by Paul J. Hewson  which can be downloaded from here.
