Choosing and Using Statistics Summary

Choosing and Using Statistics: A Biologists Guide by Calvin Dytham

The new edition of this highly popular statistics book retains the successful format of the first edition. Coverage of analysis of variance and transformations is expanded and some commonly used tests, such as logistic regression, are now included. The book is built around a key to selecting the correct statistical test and then gives clear guidance on how to carry out the test and interpret the output from SPSS, MINITAB and Excel. There are also chapters giving useful advice on the basics of statistics and guidance on the presentation of data. The emphasis is on plain, jargon-free English but any unfamiliar terms can be consulted in the extensive glossary. Choosing and Using Statistics is an invaluable textbook and a must for every student who uses a computer package to apply statistics in practical and project work.
