The Analysis of Biological Data

I bought this text for a unit I’m doing at university. It’s well written but some of the language used is a little harder to digest compared to another text I have on epidemiology

This is clear and concise information that will be helpful in the college course. This information is vital to my field of study

It is a textbook required. No choice whether to buy it. It is what it is.

Purchased what was represented as a new book which included the online software codes. Received a book that did not include the Macmillan authentic sticker, had a broken spine, and didn’t include the online access codes. Would have left a 0 star review but not an option. $149.15 for nothing!!! Future buyers beware!!!!

This book was required for my biological statistics class and I have never been more disappointed with a textbook. I purchased the digital version because it seemed to be my only option. This one was $35, while the paper copies were at LEAST $130. I now wish that I had hurt myself financially and bought the paperback because this version is such a scam. There is no table of contents. The button is blurred out. So you have to skip through each individual page and ~estimate~ where to find the chapters. I spend an ungodly amount of time just trying to find the right page. Time that should be spent studying. It is also extremely glitchy. I took the time to write this review because this whole time it has been trying to load a single page. I've refreshed and restarted my browser, nothing is working. It's so disheartening to be put in a situation where I can already barely skate by with all of my bills for school and the outrageous prices of textbooks. A broken digital copy shouldn't be my only option.

This textbook: The most important thing when making tables and graphs is to make it easy to read and not to hide the data :)Also this textbook: (cuts off nearly every table)The entire formatting of the eBook is poorly executed, but the issue with tables makes most of the presented examples useless.

I am reading this e-book on my PC Kindle app. VERY frustrating that I cannot view entire graphs/images/tables in the chapters. For example, the chapter about HOW TO MAKE A CLEAR GRAPH if full of graphics that I can't fully see. The edges are cut off, and it doesn't matter what size I make the page or font. Sometimes it keeps an entire essential part from view. There is no way to click on the graphic in order to open it in a new window. HELP!!

I rented the digital version to save money but it was a mistake. The equations are horribly formatted (you can't tell if there are exponents, division, multiplication, etc - it's just a string of numbers of variables) and certain variables mentioned in the text and printed twice each time, making it difficult to understand. Save yourself time and just get the paperback.

This is one one the must comprehensive textbooks out there for statistics, presenting data but must importantly analysis and data interpretation.I have a data science and analytics module, and the professor keeps making references to this book and mentions it very often in his lectures. He actually mentioned it so much, that I decided to buy it to assist my studies. I don't regret it at all! This is a thorough guide that takes you on a journey in data analysis: from the extensive examples with biological data, vast exercises, every figure and the way key concepts are communicated in a elegant way.it is absolutely a gem for any student of biological sciences!!
