Description
Biostatistics with R provides a straightforward introduction to analysing data from the wide field of biological research. This accessible textbook covers traditional statistical approaches, including t-tests, ANOVA and regression models, as well as advanced methods such as generalised linear models and classification and regression trees.
Each chapter is supplemented by example datasets, step-by-step R code demonstrating analytical procedures and interpretation of results. The authors also provide examples of how to appropriately describe statistical procedures and results of analyses in research papers. This book will serve a broad audience, from students and researchers looking to improve their everyday statistical practice, to lecturers of introductory undergraduate courses.
Additional resources are available on the Cambridge University Press website, including example datasets and R code. Biostatistics with R is an ideal resource for anyone looking to improve their understanding of statistical analysis in biological research.
