Statistical Methods in Agriculture and Experimental Biology, Second Edition
(Part of the Chapman & Hall Statistics Texts Series)
An introductory text for scientists working in agriculture and experimental biology, Statistical Methods in Agriculture and Experimental Biology includes all the basic statistical methods relevant to their work. Undergraduate and postgraduate majors in those subjects will find its information most essential to their studies. Material on more advanced topics- not usually discussed in an introductory text-focuses on multiple regression, incomplete block experimental design, confounded and split-plot experimental designs, non-linear and log-linear models, and repeated measurements. The authors believe that research scientists should be aware of the potential benefits of those more advanced methods in their work. Particular emphasis is placed upon the assumptions implicit in statistical methods: a full chapter is devoted to that important aspect. It also stresses the importance of designing experiments properly, particularly in using small, natural blocks and factorial treatment structure, and of using available resources efficiently, and extracting all information from the data.

Very Good Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This was the main text for a Graduate Experimental Design class. I found the book very good especially for agriculture. It is not strictly a recipe book on how to do statistics. If you want that get the Gomez and Gomez book or Little and Hills. This book covers many topics well and has problem sets.
