<b>Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis for Pharmacology and the Biomedical Sciences</b> <p><b>A practical guide to the use of basic principles of experimental design and statistical analysis in pharmacology</B> <p><i>Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis for Pharmacology and the Biomedical Sciences</i> provides clear instructions on applying statistical analysis techniques to pharmacological data. Written by an experimental pharmacologist with decades of experience teaching statistics and designing preclinical experiments, this reader-friendly volume explains the variety of statistical tests that researchers require to analyze data and draw correct conclusions. <p>Detailed, yet accessible, chapters explain how to determine the appropriate statistical tool for a particular type of data, run the statistical test, and analyze and interpret the results. By first introducing basic principles of experimental design and statistical analysis, the author then guides readers through descriptive and inferential statistics, analysis of variance, correlation and regression analysis, general linear modelling, and more. Lastly, throughout the textbook are numerous examples from molecular, cellular, <i>in vitro</i>, and <i>in vivo</i> pharmacology which highlight the importance of rigorous statistical analysis in real-world pharmacological and biomedical research. <p>This textbook also: <ul><li>Describes the rigorous statistical approach needed for publication in scientific journals</li> <li>Covers a wide range of statistical concepts and methods, such as standard normal distribution, data confidence intervals, and post hoc and a <i>priori</i> analysis</li> <li>Discusses practical aspects of data collection, identification, and presentation</i> <li>Features images of the output from common statistical packages, including GraphPad Prism, Invivo Stat, MiniTab and SPSS</li></ul> <p><i>Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis for Pharmacology and the Biomedical Sciences </i>is an invaluable reference and guide for undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and lecturers in pharmacology and allied subjects in the life sciences.
