Summary
Statistical analysis allows us to attach meaning to data that we have collected; it helps us to understand what experimental results really mean, and to assess whether we can trust what experiments seem to be telling us. Yet, despite being a collection of the most valuable and important tools available to bioscientists, statistics is often the aspect of study most feared by students.
Biomeasurement offers a refreshing, student-focused introduction to the use of statistics in the study…

Critics Review
Review from previous edition: “Biomeasurement does a wonderful job of keeping the biology the focus of analysis, and highlighting the fact that statistics is simply another useful tool to help biological understanding.” - Dr Shane Richards, Biological and Biomedical Sciences, University of Durham, UK”This book represents the best I have seen for teaching undergraduate biologists statistics.” - Dr Chris Venditti, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Hull, UK”It demystifies and clarifies topics that students can normally find confusing and challenging. It is a must for biologists!” - Dr Maria G. Tuohy, School of Natural Sciences, National University of Ireland, Galway”This book was a blessing when I got it for my first year, and I’m still finding it helpful in my second year! It is so easy to navigate; you can read it cover to cover if you are very confused, or just dip into the topics you need. I would definitely recommend it to any students doing a bioscience degree which involves statistical elements.” - Bethany Richmond, student at the University of Warwick”As a student with limited mathematical ability, new to statistics who believed I would not be able to pass this module, I read this book chapter by chapter prior to my weekly lectures and everything fell into place without a struggle. A 100% necessary purchase. A 100% necessary read. The book is appealing and very easy to navigate. I have tried to read other statistics books aimed at beginners but this was the only book which I clearly understood.” - Julie Carter, student at Anglia Ruskin University
