Modern computational tools, such as Maximum Likelihood, Monte Carlo and Bayesian methods, mean that data analysis no longer depends on elaborate assumptions designed to make analytical approaches tractable. These new 'computer-intensive' methods are currently not consistently available in statistical software packages and often require more detailed instructions. The purpose of this book therefore is to introduce some of the most common of these methods by providing a relatively simple description of the techniques. Examples of their application are provided throughout, using real data taken from a wide range of biological research. A series of software instructions for the statistical software package S-PLUS are provided along with problems and solutions for each chapter. 606 $aBiology$xData processing 606 $aBioinformatics 615 0$aBiology$xData processing. 615 0$aBioinformatics. 676 $a570.285 700 $aRoff$b Derek A.$f1949-$0622648 712 02$aProQuest (Firm) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824967203321 996 $aIntroduction to computer-intensive methods of data analysis in biology$94046620 997 $aUNINA
