Introduction Welcome to the Handbook of Biological Statistics! This online textbook evolved from a set of notes for my Biological Data Analysis class at the University of Delaware. My main goal in that class is to teach biology students how to choose the appropriate statistical test for a particular experiment, then apply that test and interpret the results. I spend relatively little time on the mathematical basis of the tests; for most biologists, statistics is just a useful tool, like a microscope, and knowing the detailed mathematical basis of a statistical test is as unimportant to most biologists as knowing which kinds of glass were used to make a microscope lens. You may navigate through these pages using the "Previous topic" and "Next topic" links at the top of each page, or you may skip from topic to topic using the links on the left sidebar. Let me know if you find a broken link anywhere on these pages. I have provided a spreadsheet to perform almost every statistical test. Printed version
