Review: This textbook is for biology students who want to use statistics in their projects and practical classes. It shows them how to process their data through a statistical package on the computer, enabling them to select the most appropriate methods and extract the important information from the data. This new edition expands the coverage of analysis of variance and transformations and includes some commonly-used tests, such as logistic regression. The author explains how to select the correct statistical test and explains the use of three widely-available software packages: SPSS, MINITAB and Excel.
