"This user-friendly introduction to likelihood and Bayesian
statistical methods for ecology students is set apart by its
emphasis on implementation in R. This alone will make it more
useful than previous books. In contrast to other texts, Bolker's
book explains how to fit models to data in enough detail that even
students with little programming experience will be able to follow
along. I expect this to become an exceedingly popular
textbook."--Stephan B. Munch, Stony Brook University
"Benjamin Bolker is a pioneer in helping ecology students make
the leap from a casual understanding of modern statistical methods
to a hands-on application of these tools to their own precious data
sets. This book shows the lessons learned from teaching this
material to several cohorts of graduate students. No other book
I've read gives such a good feel for the compromises scientists
have to make in searching for good statistical models."--Brian
Inouye, Florida State University
"I have no doubt that this book will become a fixture on many
ecologists' bookshelves (it certainly will be on mine). With a
presentation that is gentle and encouraging rather than
jargon-filled and intimidating, it empowers ecologists to develop
their own statistical procedures. I strongly recommend
it."--Timothy Essington, University of Washington
