Although the basic statistical theory behind modern genetics is not
very difficult, most statistical genetics papers are not easy to
read for beginners in the field, and formulae quickly become very
tedious to fit a particular area of application.
Introduction to Statistical Methods in Modern Genetics
distinguishes between the necessary and unnecessary complexity in a
presentation designed for graduate-level statistics students. The
author keeps derivations simple, but does so without losing the
mathematical details. He also provides the required background in
modern genetics for those looking forward to entering this arena.
Along with some of the statistical tools important in genetics
applications, students will learn:
How a gene is found
How scientists have separated the genetic and environmental aspects
of a person's intelligence
How genetics are used in agriculture to improve crops and domestic
animals
What a DNA fingerprint is and why there are controversies about it
Although the author assumes students have a foundation in basic
statistics, an appendix provides the necessary background beyond
the elementary, including multinomial distributions, inference on
frequency tables, and discriminant analysis. With clear
explanations, a multitude of figures, and exercise sets in each
chapter, this text forms an outstanding entr?e into the rapidly
expanding world of genetic data analysis.
