Synopsis

This book introduces statistical techniques for biologists, especially as applied to variation studies. In the late 19th century, the science of biometrics was in its early stages, and this book served as a guide to researchers seeking to apply the emerging statistical methods to biological data. The author based the book on statistical theory as it existed at the time and incorporated recent developments in the field, such as Duncker's work on statistical methods. The result is a practical volume useful to biologists of the time. The field of biometrics has advanced considerably since this book was written, and more advanced statistical methods are now available. Nonetheless, this book provides a thorough grounding in the essential principles of statistical analysis, demonstrating how statistical methods can be used to organize, analyze, and draw inferences from complex biological data.
