A Practical Guide to Scientific Data Analysis

摘要

This book was designed to serve as a "statistical companion to the novice or casual reader" on the processes of data analysis. It was not meant to be a textbook-some basic knowledge of statistics is assumed-but rather to be a guide for working scientists with an emphasis on applying mathematical and statistical techniques and interpreting the results. The 10 chapters are ordered in a logical sequence taking the reader through the process of data analysis from planning an experiment to constructing quantitative models. It opens with a list of abbreviations and an introductory chapter explaining the terms and principles used throughout the text and concludes with a subject index.
