Chapter 1: Short exposition of probability theory, using generic examples. Chapter 2: Estimation in theory and practice, using biologically motivated examples. Maximum-likelihood estimation is also covered, including Fisher information and power computations. Methods for calculating confidence intervals and robust alternatives to standard estimators are also presented. Chapter 3: Hypothesis testing with emphasis on concepts, particularly type-I and type-II errors, and interpreting test results. Several examples are provided. T-tests are used throughout, followed other important tests and robust\/nonparametric alternatives. Multiple testing is discussed in more depth, and the combination of individual tests is explained. Chapter 4: Linear regression, with computations solely based on R. Multiple group comparisons with ANOVA are covered together with linear contrasts, again using R for computations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277276340375,"sku":"9783642235016","price":3639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642235016.webp?v=1769287952","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-concise-guide-to-statistics-9783642235016","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
