Opis

Useful as a text or reference, this book presents various experimental designs, reasons for selecting each design, and statistical analysis. This second edition features a new chapter on covariance analysis to help readers understand how to reduce the error associated with an experiment and examine covariances among selected variables. It includes

Recenzje

"… guides readers to think through their problems, to design experiments to answer their questions, to analyze the data accruing from those experiments, and to draw sensible inferences. … the exercises at the end of the chapter give readers the opportunity to test their understanding. … a handy companion for agronomists and environmental scientists who need to experiment with treatments they can control."
-R. Webster, Journal of Environmental Quality, Vol. 36, Issue 1, January-February 2007

"…One strength of the text is that there are many actual agricultural and biological examples and data analysis problems. … This text would be beneficial to those whose backgrounds are in agriculture and biology, those who would like to see basic computational details, and those who prefer the classical test statistic/critical value approach to hypothesis testing."
-Biometrics, December 2006
