β¦ Synopsis
Ch. 1. An introduction to probability -- Ch. 2. Random variables and probability distributions -- Ch. 3. Summary statistics: measures of location and spread -- Ch. 4. Framing and testing hypotheses -- Ch. 5. Three frameworks for statistical analysis -- Ch. 6. Designing successful field studies -- Ch. 7. A bestiary of experimental and sampling designs -- Ch. 8. Managing and curating data -- Ch. 9. Regression -- Ch. 10. The analysis of variance -- Ch. 11. The analysis of categorical data -- Ch. 12. The analysis of multivariate data -- Ch. 13. The measurement of biodiversity -- Ch. 14. Detecting populations and estimating their size -- Appendix: Matrix algebra for ecologists.;A Primer of Ecological Statistics, Second Edition, explains fundamental material in probability theory, experimental design, and parameter estimation for ecologists and environmental scientists. The book emphasizes a general introduction to probability theory and provides a detailed discussion of specific designs and analyses that are typically encountered in ecology and environmental science. Appropriate for use as either a stand-alone or supplementary text for upper-division undergraduate or graduate courses in ecological and environmental statistics, ecology, environmental science, environmental studies, or experimental design, the Primer also serves as a resource for environmental professionals who need to use and interpret statistics daily but have little or no formal training in the subject.

Drawing upon more than 30 years of experience in working with statistics, Dr. Richard J. Harris has updated A Primer of Multivariate Statistics to provide a model of balance between how-to and why. This classic text covers multivariate techniques with a taste of latent variable approaches. Throughou
As he was looking over materials for his multivariate course, Harris (U. of New Mexico) realized that the course had outstripped the current edition of his own textbook. He decided to revise it rather than use someone else's because he finds them veering too much toward math avoidance, and not payin
