Practical Statistics for Field Biology
Provides an excellent introductory text for students on the principles and methods of statistical analysis in the life sciences, helping them choose and analyse statistical tests for their own problems and present their findings. Medical books Practical Statistics for Field Biology. br />
An understanding of statistical principles and methods is essential for any scientist but is particularly important for those in the life sciences. The field biologist faces very particular problems and challenges with statistics as "real-life" situations such as collecting insects with a sweep net or counting seagulls on a cliff face can hardly be expected to be as reliable or controllable as a laboratory-based experiment. Acknowledging the peculiarites of field-based data and its interpretation, this book provides a superb introduction to statistical analysis helping students relate to their particular and often diverse data with confidence and ease.
To enhance the usefulness of this book, the new edition incorporates the more advanced method of multivariate analysis, introducing the nature of multivariate problems and describing the the techniques of principal components analysis, cluster analysis and discriminant analysis which are all applied to biological examples Medical books Practical Statistics For Field Biology (2nd Edition).

Practical Statistics for Field Biology acknowledges the peculiarities of field-based data and its interpretation, and aims to provide biologists with sufficient grounding in statistical principles and methods to enable them to understand research reports, decide on the most appropriate statistical tests for their own problems, and to analyse and present their findings. This new edition also covers some more complicated statistics not included in the first edition, making the scope of Practical Statistics for Field Biology even more useful to postgraduates whilst not detracting from its overall

To enhance the usefulness of this book, the new edition incorporates the more advanced method of multivariate analysis, introducing the nature of multivariate problems and describing the the techniques of principal components analysis, cluster analysis and discriminant analysis which are all applied to biological examples. An appendix detailing the statistical computing packages available has also been included.
It will be extremely useful to undergraduates studying ecology, biology, and earth and environmental sciences and of interest to postgraduates who are not familiar with the application of multiavirate techniques and practising field biologists working in these areas.
