Description
Statistical Analysis in Microbiology provides a clear introduction to the basic principles of statistics for microbiologists. This book aims to dispel common myths surrounding statistics and present the logic of statistical analysis in an accessible way. The text is presented as a series of 2018Statnotes', each dealing with various topics such as variable nature, comparing group means, non-parametric statistics, and more complex methods like multiple linear regression and factor analysis. Real experimental data from microbiology experiments are used to illustrate the relevant statistical methods in each case. A glossary of commonly used statistical terms is included, along with a section to help investigators select the most appropriate test for their work.
