Following an introductory lesson on nonparametric statistics forthe biological sciences, the book is organized into eight self-contained lessons on various analyses and tests using R to broadly compare differences between data sets and statistical approach. This supplemental text is intended for: Upper-level undergraduate and graduate students majoring in the biological sciences, specifically those in agriculture, biology, and health science - both students in lecture-type courses and also those engaged in research projects, such as a master's thesis or a doctoral dissertation And biological researchers at the professional level without a nonparametric statistics background but who regularly work with data more suitable to a nonparametric approach to data analysis. 606 $aBiometry 606 $aMathematical statistics$xData processing 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aStatistics 606 $aBiostatistics 606 $aStatistics and Computing 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aStatistical Theory and Methods 615 0$aBiometry. 615 0$aMathematical statistics$xData processing. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 14$aBiostatistics. 615 24$aStatistics and Computing. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aStatistical Theory and Methods. 676 $a519.5 700 $aMacFarland$b Thomas W.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0721661 702 $aYates$b Jan M.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254064003321 996 $aIntroduction to Nonparametric Statistics for the Biological Sciences Using R$91963838 997 $aUNINA
