Analysis of Variance and Covariance

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a core technique for analysing data in the Life Sciences. In this reference book, the gap between statistical theory and practical data analysis is bridged by presenting a comprehensive set of tables for all standard models of analysis of variance and covariance with up to three treatment factors. This book will serve as a tool to help post-graduates and professionals define their hypotheses, design appropriate experiments, translate them into a statistical model, validate the output from statistics packages and verify results. The systematic layout makes it easy for readers to identify which types of model best fit the themes they are investigating, and to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of alternative experimental designs. In addition, a concise introduction to the principles of analysis of variance and covariance is provided, alongside worked examples illustrating issues and decisions faced by analysts.
