Description
Choosing and Using Statistics: A Biologist's Guide by Calvin Dytham is a practical guide for students using computer packages to analyse data from research projects and practical class work. The book takes a pragmatic approach to statistics, focusing on what is actually needed, and provides useful advice on the basics of statistics and guidance on the presentation of data. The book is built around a key to selecting the correct statistical test, and then provides clear guidance on how to carry out the test and interpret the output from four commonly used computer packages: SPSS, Minitab, Excel, and R. The emphasis is on jargon-free English, with an extensive glossary to help readers look up unfamiliar words. This third edition of Choosing and Using Statistics is aimed at students who use statistics for projects and practical classes, and includes features such as a simple key and flow chart to help with test selection, and an extensive glossary and key to symbols to explain statistical jargon.
