More than a textbookit's also a valuable reference book for
researchers and crop science professionals! The Handbook of
Statistics for Teaching and Research in Plant and Crop Science
presents the fundamental concepts of important statistical methods
and experimental designs to the students and researchers who need
to apply them to their own specific problems. This comprehensive
handbook takes what can be the difficult and confusing topics of
statistics and experimental design and explains them in easily
understandable terms, making them accessible to nearly every
reader. More than a student textbook, it is an essential reference
for researchers and professionals in a multitude of fields.
Designed as a two-semester statistical textbook, the first section
of the Handbook of Statistics for Teaching and Research in Plant
and Crop Science focuses on statistical concepts, providing a
foundation of useful knowledge on which you can base your own
research. The second section concentrates on experimental designs
in plant and crop sciences. The material is presented in a way that
helps readers with a minimum of mathematical background to
understand important theories and concepts. Derivations of formulas
are avoided, and mathematical symbols are used only when essential.
To illustrate the computational procedures, data is drawn from
actual experiments. At the end of each chapter, examples and
exercises are given to provide clear insight into real-life
problems. A comprehensive appendix of clearly presented statistical
tables is included. Part One of Handbook of Statistics for Teaching
and Research in Plant and Crop Science focuses on statistical
methods, principles, and procedures, exploring: methods of display
of statistical information, such as tables, diagrams, graphs, etc.
symbols and their use in denoting variables descriptions of types
of statistical data methods of computation from raw and graphed
data the importance of studying variables and dispersion in
research the use of normal probability integral tables and their
application to practical problems descriptions of different types
of experiments, such as determinate and nondeterminate the
significance of expected value in research special techniques in
descriptive statistics explanations of population, sample, and
statistical inference the significance of null hypothesis in
research methods of correlation studies assumptions and principles
in regression analysis Part Two concentrates on experimental
design, principles and procedures, exploring: basic principles of
experimental design the fundamental concepts of linear models and

control and so much more! The Handbook of Statistics for Teaching
and Research in Plant and Crop Science serves not only as a
textbook for instructors and students in experimental design and
statistics but also as a reference book on plant and crop sciences
for professionals and researchers. The comprehensive text is also
useful for professionals in other statistic-heavy fields.
