Summary
Explore biostatistics using JMP in this refreshing introduction Presented in an easy-to-understand way, Introduction to Biostatistics with JMP introduces undergraduate students in the biological sciences to the most commonly used (and misused) statistical methods that they will need to analyze their experimental data using JMP. It covers many of the basic topics in statistics using biological examples for exercises so that the student biologists can see the relevance to future work in the problems addressed. The book starts by teaching students how to become confident in executing the right an
