Computational analysis of natural science experiments often
confronts noisy data due to natural variability in environment or
measurement. Drawing conclusions in the face of such noise entails
a statistical analysis. Parametric statistical methods assume that
the data is a sample from a population that can be characterized by
a specific distribution (e.g., a normal distribution). When the
assumption is true, parametric approaches can lead to high
confidence predictions. However, in many cases particular
distribution assumptions do not hold. In that case, assuming a
distribution may yield false conclusions. The companion book
Statistics is Easy, gave a (nearly) equation-free introduction to
nonparametric (i.e., no distribution assumption) statistical
methods. The present book applies data preparation, machine
learning, and nonparametric statistics to three quite different
life science datasets. We provide the code as applied to each
dataset in both R and Python 3. We also include exercises for
self-study or classroom use.
