Statistical Bioinformatics with R,
Edition 1
By Sunil K. Mathur

Publication Date: 12 Jan 2010
Description

Statistical Bioinformatics provides a balanced treatment of statistical theory in the context of bioinformatics applications.

Designed for a one or two semester senior undergraduate or graduate bioinformatics course, the text takes a broad view of the subject – not just gene expression and sequence analysis, but a careful balance of statistical theory in the context of bioinformatics applications.

The inclusion of R & SAS code as well as the development of advanced methodology such as Bayesian and Markov models provides students with the important foundation needed to conduct bioinformatics.

Key Features

  • Integrates biological, statistical and computational concepts
  • Inclusion of R & SAS code
  • Provides coverage of complex statistical methods in context with applications in bioinformatics
  • Exercises and examples aid teaching and learning presented at the right level
  • Bayesian methods and the modern multiple testing principles in one convenient book
