Statistical methods are a key tool for all scientists working with data, but learning the basic mathematical skills can be one of the most challenging components of a biologist's training. The book's structure and user friendly style stem from the author's 20 years of experience teaching statistics to life and environmental scientists at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.The New Statistics with R is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students, professional researchers, and practitioners in the fields of ecology, evolution, environmental studies, and computational biology.. It emphasizes an estimation-based approach that accounts for recent criticisms of the over-use of probability values, and introduces alternative approaches using information criteria. Statistics are introduced through worked analyses performed in R, the free open source programming language for statistics and graphics, which is rapidly becoming the standard software in many areas of science and technology. This accessible book provides a contemporary introduction to
Worthy of wide use." --The Biologist. "Prof. Working through them will certainly teach the basics of data analysis." --Systematic Biology"Overall the book gives useful, ecumenical, and reliable statistical advice. I would recommend it for courses that are trying to equip students who already know elementary statistics with the basic tools they need to understand and perform analyses of real, messy data." --Ben Bolker, The QuarterlyReview of Biology"The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and practitioners in biological sciences. The individual chapters are ready-made computer laboratory sessions. Hector's book should be very much welcome by students, statistics teachers and practitioners
