Developed from the authors’ courses at theUniversity of Copenhagen, this textbook coversall the usual material but goes further than othertexts. The authors imbue students with the abili-ty to model and analyze data early in the text andthen gradually fill in the blanks with needed prob-ability and statistics theory. While the main textcan be used with any statistical software, theauthors encourage a reliance on R. They providea short tutorial for students new to the softwareand include R commands and output at the endof each chapter. Ultimately, students come awaywith a computational toolbox that enables themto perform actual analysis for real data sets as wellas the confidence and skills to undertake moresophisticated analyses as their careers progress.
Features
• Includes numerous exercises, half of which can be done by hand
• Contains ten case exercises that encouragestudents to apply their knowledge to largerdata sets and learn more about approachesspecific to the life sciences
• Offers a tutorial for students new to R
• Provides data sets used in the text on a supporting website
• Emphasizes both data analysis and the mathematics underlying classical statisticalanalysis
• Covers modeling aspects of statistical analysiswith added focus on biological interpretations
• Explores applications of statistical software inanalyzing real-world problems and data sets

Emphasizing concepts rather than recipes, thistext provides a clear exposition of the methodsof statistical inference for students who are com-fortable with mathematical notation. Numerousexamples, case studies, and exercises are includ-ed. R is used to simplify computation, create fig-ures, and draw pseudorandom samples—not toperform entire analyses.
Features
• Explains how statistical methods are usedfor data analysis
• Uses the elementary functions of R to per-form the individual steps of statistical proce-dures
• Includes amusing anecdotes and trivia, suchas Ambrose Bierce’s definition of insurance
• Introduces basic concepts of inferencethrough a careful study of several importantprocedures, including parametric and non-parametric methods, ANOVA, and regression
• Presents many applications along with sup-porting data sets
• Contains exercises at the end of each chapter• Offers the R code and data sets available for

Offering deep insight into the connectionsbetween design choice and the resulting statisti-cal analysis, this graduate-level text explores howexperiments are designed using the language oflinear statistical models. It presents an organizedframework for understanding the statisticalaspects of experimental design as a whole withinthe structure provided by general linear models,rather than as a collection of seemingly unrelatedsolutions to unique problems.The core material covers a review of linear statis-tical models, completely randomized designs,randomized complete blocks designs, Latinsquares, analysis of data from orthogonallyblocked designs, balanced incomplete blockdesigns, random block effects, split-plot designs,and two-level factorial experiments. The remain-der of the text discusses factorial group screeningexperiments, regression model design, and anintroduction to optimal design.This textbook enables students to fully appreciatethe fundamental concepts and techniques ofexperimental design as well as the real-worldvalue of design. It gives them a profound under-standing of how design selection affects the infor-mation obtained in an experiment.

A culmination of the author’s many years of con-sulting and teaching, this textbook covers bothclassical ideas in experimental design and the latestresearch topics. It clearly discusses the objectives ofa research project that lead to an appropriatedesign choice, the practical aspects of creating adesign and performing experiments, and the inter-pretation of the results of computer data analysis. Drawing on a variety of application areas, the bookpresents numerous examples of experiments andexercises that enable students to perform their ownexperiments. Harnessing the capabilities of SAS 9.2,it includes examples of SAS data step programmingand IML, along with procedures from SAS Stat, SASQC, and SAS OR. The author discusses how thesample size, the assignment of experimental unitsto combinations of treatment factor levels (errorcontrol), and the selection of treatment factor com-binations (treatment design) affect the resultingvariance and bias of estimates as well as the validityof conclusions.
Features
• Emphasizes the connection between theexperimental units, the way treatments arerandomized to experimental units, and theproper error term for an analysis of data

Emphasizing the use of WinBUGS and R to ana-lyze real data, this text presents statistical tools toaddress scientific questions. It highlights founda-tional issues in statistics, the importance of mak-ing accurate predictions, and the need for scien-tists and statisticians to collaborate in analyzingdata. The WinBUGS code provided offers a con-venient platform to model and analyze a widerange of data. The first five chapters of the book contain corematerial that spans basic Bayesian ideas, calcula-tions, and inference. The text then covers MonteCarlo methods. After discussing linear structuresin regression, it presents binomial regression, nor-mal regression, analysis of variance, and Poissonregression, before extending these methods tohandle correlated data. The authors also examinesurvival analysis and binary diagnostic testing. Acomplementary chapter on diagnostic testing forcontinuous outcomes is available on the book’swebsite. The last chapter on nonparametric infer-ence explores density estimation and flexibleregression modeling of mean functions.
