Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Many biologists remain unfamiliar with statistical analysis and modelling, yet need to apply these techniques increasingly in their research. This volume describes how to analyze biological data, with commonly available software packages, without making errors which can invalidate results. Practical guidance is provided for planning the correct strategy for a variety of different statistical approaches and modelling problems and interpreting the results. Many examples of computer commands and output are given to illustrate the different analytical approaches. Biological Data Analysis: A Practical Approach has been designed specifically to allow researchers with only a minimal knowledge of statistics to understand a variety of statistical methods and apply them directly. The provision of data sets from several biological disciplines will make this book useful to all types of biologists.
