Riassunto

From the very basics to linear models, this book provides a complete introduction to statistics, data analysis, and R for bioinformatics research and applications. It covers ANOVA, cluster analysis, visualization tools, and machine learning techniques. Suitable for self-study and courses in computational biology, bioinformatics, statistics, and the life sciences, the text also presents examples of microarrays and bioinformatics applications. R code illustrates all of the essential concepts and is available on an accompanying CD-ROM.
