Description

Statistics with Applications in Biology and Geology offers a practical introduction to the fundamental parametric statistical models frequently applied to data analysis in biology and geology. Based on material developed for an introductory course and classroom tested for 10 years, this treatment establishes a firm basis in models, the likelihood method, and numeracy. The presentation incorporates use of the SAS statistical software package, which the authors use to illustrate the statistical tools described. However, to reinforce understanding of the basic concepts, calculations for the simplest models are also worked through by hand. SAS programs and the data sets used are available on the Internet.
