An Introduction to Biostatistics, 3/e (Paperback)

For over a decade, Glover and Mitchell have provided life-sciences students with an accessible, complete introduction to the use of statistics in their disciplines. The authors emphasize the relationships between probability, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing using both parametric and nonparametric analyses. Copious examples throughout the text apply concepts and theories to real questions faced by researchers in biology, environmental science, biochemistry, and health sciences. Dozens of examples and problems are new to the Third Edition, as are "Concept Checks" —short questions that allow readers to immediately gauge their mastery of the topics presented. Regardless of mathematical background, all readers will appreciate the value of statistics as a fundamental quantitative skill for the life sciences.

The authors have prepared a companion guide to using R, a free online statistical tool. The guide, as well as additional appendices and 300 additional problems to supplement the book, is available for download at no additional cost. Not-for-sale instructor resource material available to college and university faculty only; contact publisher directly.

十多年來，Glover和Mitchell為生命科學學生提供了一本易於理解且完整的統計學入門書籍。作者強調概率、概率分佈和假設檢驗之間的關係，並使用參數和非參數分析方法。全書中豐富的例子將概念和理論應用於生物學、環境科學、生物化學和健康科學研究人員面臨的真實問題。第三版新增了數十個例子和問題，還新增了“概念檢查”——簡短的問題，讓讀者立即評估自己對所學主題的掌握程度。無論數學背景如何，所有讀者都會欣賞統計學作為生命科學中一項基本的定量技能的價值。

作者還為使用免費在線統計工具R的讀者準備了一本配套指南。該指南以及額外的附錄和300個額外的問題可免費下載。不出售給教師的教學資源僅提供給大學和學院教師使用，請直接聯繫出版商。
