No. 4 May 2001"...clearly written! well illustrated and...no excuse for not having it on your shelf"--Ecotoxicology! Vol 9! 2000"I enjoyed this book! I liked the approach and the liberal use of examples. ...the content is highly appropriate and is well presented..."--Progress in Environmental Science! Vol 2/4! 2001 Informationen zum Autor Tim Sparks , Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Cambridgeshire, UK. Klappentext A basic understanding of statistical concepts and methodology is essential for every research scientist. Statistics in Ecotoxicology is a comprehensive, well-illustrated text, tailored to meet the needs of all ecotoxicologists from undergraduates to professionals. Avoiding mathematical jargon, the book uses worked examples to enable the reader to understand the potential of, and limitations of, statistical analysis in both the planning and operation of laboratory and field ecotoxicological experiments. This informative and highly practical guide: provides an invaluable introduction to the quantitative methods for the analysis of ecotoxicological data covers field experimentation, laboratory experimentation, regression methodology, multivariate methods and monitoring incorporates essential tips to prevent many of the common design and analytical failings in ecotoxicology includes case studies comprising of terrestrial, freshwater and marine examples Written by an international team of scientists, Statistics in Ecotoxicology will be essential reading for all ecotoxicologists.
