This book is the first to provide an overview of all the current key methods in...

After illustrating the meta-analytic situation of an MAIPD with several examples, the authors introduce the profile likelihood model and extend it to...

Bioconductor software has become a standard tool for the analysis and comprehension of data from high-throughput genomics experiments. Its application spans a broad field of technologies used in contemporary molecular biology. In this volume, the authors present a collection of cases to apply Bioconductor tools in the analysis of microarray gene expression data. Topics covered include

* import and preprocessing of data from various sources

* statistical modeling of differential gene expression

* biological metadata

* application of graphs and graph rendering

The practice of meta-analysis allows researchers to obtain findings from various studies and compile them to verify and form one overall conclusion. Statistical Meta-Analysis with Applications presents the necessary statistical methodologies that allow readers to tackle the four main stages of meta-analysis: problem formulation, data collection, data evaluation, and data analysis and interpretation. Combining the authors' expertise on the topic with a wealth of up-to-date information, this book...

Ce livre est une introduction a la statistique inferentielle. Son attraction principale consiste en l'etude concrete et detaillee des modeles statistiques les plus importants pour les applications d'ou l'on degage sans peine les notions generales. Les methodes "exactes," privilegiees par rapport aux procedes asymptotiques habituels, souvent peu precis, presentent un interet particulier. L'ouvrage est complete par de nombreux exercices.

Das Buch fuhrt praxisorientiert in die methodischen Grundlagen fur klinische Studien in wissenschaftlicher Forschung und pharmazeutischer Industrie ein. Die Autoren stellen grundlegende Planungs- und Durchfuhrungsprinzipien sowie die wichtigsten statistischen Verfahren verstandlich und anhand von Beispielen dar. Sie zeigen exemplarisch die in der Praxis auftretenden Probleme auf und behandeln auch spezielle Verfahren fur Diagnose- und Prognosestudien. Diese 3., uberarbeitete Auflage wurde im Hinblick auf neue Entwicklungen erganzt."

Opening with a brief overview of the history and use of statistics within forensic science, the text then goes on to introduce statistical techniques commonly used to examine...

Robust Methods in Biostatistics proposes robust alternatives to common methods used in statistics in general and in biostatistics in particular and illustrates their use on many biomedical datasets. The methods introduced include...

The vast array of molecular level information now available presents exciting opportunities to characterize the genetic underpinnings of complex diseases while discovering novel biological pathways to disease progression. In this introductory graduate level text, Dr. Foulkes elucidates core concepts that undergird the wide range of analytic techniques and software tools for the analysis of data derived from population-based genetic investigations. Applied Statistical Genetics with R offers a clear and cogent presentation of several fundamental statistical approaches that researchers from...

Focusing on the roles of different segments of DNA, Statistics in Human Genetics and Molecular Biology provides a basic understanding of problems arising in the analysis of genetics and genomics. It presents statistical applications in genetic mapping, DNA/protein sequence alignment, and analyses of gene expression data from microarray experiments.

The text introduces a diverse set of problems and a number of approaches that have been used to address these problems. It discusses basic molecular biology and likelihood-based statistics, along with physical...
