This book is intended for molecular biologists who perform quantitative analyses on data
emanating from their field and for the statisticians who work with molecular biologists
and other biomedical researchers. There are many excellent textbooks that provide fundamental components for statistical training curricula. There are also many “by experts for
experts” books in statistics and molecular biology which require in-depth knowledge in
both subjects to be taken full advantage of. So far, no book in statistics has been published
that provides the basic principles of proper statistical analyses and progresses to a more
advanced statistics in response to rapidly developing technologies and methodologies in
the field of molecular biology.
