Reviews
"""This book takes the reader through the structured steps necessary for quantitative investigations. The text is suitable for those students with limited knowledge and ability with mathematics but who may, nonetheless, wish to use statistical techniques appropriately. …Analyses are illustrated by full-worked examples and the author discusses the type of biological question to which each technique should be applied. The text will be a useful starting point for student of applied statistics who need to integrate their studies with Minitab."" - International Statistics Institute ""With 458 pages, this is a substantial work. As a handbook of statistical methods, it should appeal particularly to researchers and lectuers in ecology, and in the agricultural and medical sciences. It could also be a recommended text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. ""I found the book well organized, readable, and comprehensive…The need for careful justification of numbers in animal experiments is emphasized, so that defensible group sizes can be presented to ethical committees. This is one of the book's real strengths, along with the attention given to procedures for sampling. … I was impressed with Eddison's balancing of algebra versus Minitab and his introductory survey of the statistics landscape without being overly technical. …Overall, I would see this as a useful reference handbook for the advanced undergraduate and postgraduate, or professional biologist, who wants to use statistical methods in an insightful and responsible way, and with Minitab as the executive tool."" - Learning & Teaching Support Network"
