The apparent contradiction between statistical significance and biological relevance has diminished the value of statistical methods as a whole in toxicology. Moreover, recommendations for statistical analysis are imprecise in most toxicological guidelines. Addressing these dilemmas, Statistics in Toxicology Using R explains the statistical analysis of selected experimental data in toxicology and presents assay-specific suggestions, such as fo...
Like the best-selling first two editions, this third edition provides an up-to-date guide to data analysis using the R system for statistical computing. It explains how to conduct a range of statistical analyses, from simple inference to recursive partitioning to cluster analysis. Along with more exercises and more detailed explanations of R code, this edition includes three new chapters on quantile regression, missing values, and Bayesian inf...
This book contains selected papers from a workshop on modern statistical methods in toxicology held during the EUROTOX '90 conference in Leipzig. The papers deal with the biostatistical evaluation of the commonly used toxicological assays, i.e. mutagenicity, long-term carcinogenicity, embryotoxicity and chronic toxicity assays. The biological background is considered in detail, and most of the related statistical approaches described. In five ...
