Several readings were necessary in order to grasp what was being said. This book is better suited to readers already familiar with statistics who need a reference book. The back end sheet and cover give a flow chart for finding book chapters for specific purposes. The bulk of this chart is devoted to finding explanations for specific analyses. For someone already familiar with the concept behind the types of analyses and needs to refresh his or her memory on details, this book would likely be ideal.
Explanations are concise and examples are given.
The appendices offer a battery of tables necessary when performing different types of analyses. Brief outlines of procedures are also offered. This book would be a good addition to a library serving life sciences researchers. Libraries serving undergraduate life sciences students would do better to find a more elementary book. Inc.
