Statistical Methods in Biology: Design and Analysis of Experiments and Regression

Provides an introduction to both experimental design and linear regression Takes an applied approach, with an emphasis on explaining the practical application of the methods through real examples and the use of software Focuses on examples and applications in the agricultural and biological sciences Includes implementation of the methods in both GenStat and R Offers problems and exercises in all the chapters Summary Written in simple language with relevant examples, this illustrative introductory book presents best practices in experimental design and simple data analysis. Taking a practical and intuitive approach, it only uses mathematical formulae to formalize the methods where necessary and appropriate. The text features extended discussions of examples that include real data sets arising from research. The authors analyze data in detail to illustrate the use of basic formulae for simple examples while using the GenStat® statistical package for more complex examples. Each chapter offers instructions on how to obtain the example analyses in GenStat and R.
