Abstract:
"Biomeasurement offers a refreshing, student-focused introduction to the use of statistics in the study of the biosciences. With an emphasis on why statistical techniques are essential tools for bioscientists, the book gives students the motivation and confidence to use and further explore the key techniques for themselves." "The book guides the student through the use of descriptive and inferential statistics, walking them step-wise through the key statistical techniques, using carefully integrated examples, with plentiful opportunities for hands-on practice to help explain how and why each test is used."--Jacket.
