Principles and Procedures of Statistics A Biometrical Approach

About this book

This textbook provides a thorough treatment of major statistical methods and techniques for both staticticians and non-statisticians requiring a foundation in applied statistics. There is an emphasis throughout on inference from data, the principle of fitting models by least squares, and careful interpretation of results. The authors employ SAS to produce PC-based statistical graphics and perform some analyses where appropriate. This edition includes updated real-world data sets.
