Biostatistical Design and Analysis Using R: A Practical Guide

Draws upon the popularity and free availability of R to couple the theory and practice of biostatistics into a single treatment - for biologists learning statistics, R, or both.

R — the statistical and graphical environment is rapidly emerging as an important set of teaching and research tools for biologists.

In this book, an abridged description of biostatistical principles and analysis sequence keys are combined together with worked examples of the practical use of R into a complete practical guide to designing and analyzing real biological research.

Topics covered include:

• Simple hypothesis testing, graphing
• Exploratory data analysis and graphical summaries
• Regression (linear, multi and non-linear)
• Simple and complex ANOVA and ANCOVA designs (including nested, factorial, blocking, spit-plot and repeated measures)
• Frequency analysis and generalized linear models
• Linear mixed effects modeling is also incorporated extensively throughout as an alternative to traditional modeling techniques
