| Title | Introductory statistics for biology / R.E. Parker. |
| Edition | Second edition. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (v, 122 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Studies in biology |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Summary | This introductory text presents the use of statistical methods as an integral part of biological investigation, yet one whose superficial complexities have deterred many biologists from using them. The author argues that the difficulties, such as they are, do not lie in mathematical manipulation, but in grasping a few simple, but unfamiliar concepts. He emphasizes the need for precisely defining problems and for careful selection of the most appropriate methods - a wide range of which are described and illustrated. Each chapter ends with a set of problems which are intended to help the student gain practical experience. No previous knowledge is assumed, and the student is encouraged to develop a competent and critical approach to analysing numerical data. In this second edition, the scope of the book has been extended, problems have been solved in a more satisfactory way, and a greater number of illustrative examples have been added. |
