Statistical Bioinformatics: For Biomedical and Life Science Researchers (Methods of Biochemical Analysis)
This book provides an essential understanding of statistical concepts necessary for the analysis of genomic and proteomic data using computational techniques. Medical books Statistical Bioinformatics. The author presents both basic and advanced topics, focusing on those that are relevant to the computational analysis of large data sets in biology. Chapters begin with a description of a statistical concept and a current example from biomedical research, followed by more detailed presentation, discussion of limitations, and problems. The book starts with an introduction to probability and statistics for genome-wide data, and moves into topics such as clustering, classification, multi-dimensional visualization, experimental design, statistical resampling, and statistical network analysis.
- Clearly explains the use of bioinformatics tools in life sciences research without requiring an advanced background in math/statistics
- Enables biomedical and life sciences researchers to successfully evaluate the validity of their results and make inferences
- Enables statistical and quantitative researchers to rapidly learn novel statistical concepts and techniques appropriate for large biological data analysis
- Carefully revisits frequently used statistical approaches and highlights their limitations in large biological data analysis
- Offers programming examples and datasets
- Includes chapter problem sets, a glossary, a list of statistical notations, and appendices with references to background mathematical and technical material
- Features supplementary materials, including datasets, links, and a statistical package available online
Statistical Bioinformatics is an ideal textbook for students in medicine, life sciences, and bioengineering, aimed at researchers who utilize computational tools for the analysis of genomic, proteomic, and many other emerging high-throughput molecular data Medical books Handbook of Statistical Bioinformatics. Numerous fascinating breakthroughs in biotechnology have generated large volumes and diverse types of high throughput data that demand the development of efficient and appropriate tools in computational statistics integrated with biological knowledge and computational algorithms. This volume collects contributed chapters from leading researchers to survey the many active research topics and promote the visibility of this research area. This volume is intended to provide an introductory and reference book for students and researchers who are interested in the recent developments of computational statistics in computational biology.
