| Kurzbeschreibung
Based on the highly successful STATNOTES articles published in Microbiologist by the Society for Applied Microbiology, this book presents the most useful statistical tests in a clear way by applying them to real experiments in microbiology, meeting the need for a book devoted to data analysis in the field. The book is presented as a series of 'Statnotes' each of which deals with a specific statistical test. The logic and mechanics of each test are explained, and each is carried out in relation to real scenarios and with real research data. It clearly presents the test interpretation and conclusions from data to experimental microbiologists, postgraduate and undergraduate students, and practitioners.
