Data Analysis for the Life Sciences
This is a book that is different from many statistical textbooks as it focuses less on mathematics and more on using a computer to perform data analysis. Instead of explaining the mathematics and theory, and then showing examples, the authors start with a practical data-related life science challenge. This book also includes the computer code that provides a solution to the problem and helps illustrate the concepts behind the solution giving you a better intuition for the concepts, the mathematics, and the theory.
