Statistics and Experimental Design by G M Clarke
Many gross errors in applying statistical methods arise through not knowing when they work, or when the results are a nonsense, and through using methods that are not entirely appropriate to the problems being analysed. The most effective way of learning to use and appreciate statistical methods is through an applied approach. Clarke's popular textbook provides a non-mathematical account of all the statistical methods commonly used by students and researchers in the biological sciences. It describes the methods, their uses and the interpretation of results and in addition, presents the ideas behind, and the limitations of, standard statistical procedure. The text acknowledges the importance of computers in the analysis of data and gives students advice on the use of MINITAB in statistical work and the use of computer graphics to illustrate reports.
The material is well written with clear notation and ample examples and exercises..A nice little book that can be highly recommeded for a non-mathematical introductory course in statistics for experimental scientists. -- Teaching Statistics, reviewing a previous edition ...it should appeal to those wishing to learn statistical methods in an 'applied' way. It is easy to follow, gives an excellent grounding in statistical methods for the less mathematically inclined, and can be recommeded to biologists and to science students generally. -- Bias A book of this kind, addressed to a specialist audience will...be judged mainly on the examples chosen to illustrate the procedures described and on the exercises set for the reader. Here the author has been very successful; he has drawn on a wide range of biological experiments. Particularly pleasing are those exercises which really make the reader think. -- Journal of Applied Bacteriology
