For over a decade, Glover and Mitchell have provided life-sciences students with an accessible, complete introduction to the use of statistics in their disciplines. The authors emphasize the relationships between probability, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing using both parametric and nonparametric analyses. Copious examples throughout the text apply concepts and theories to real questions faced by researchers in biology, environmental science, biochemistry, and health sciences. Dozens of examples and problems are new to the Third Edition, as are "Concept Checks" short questions that allow readers to immediately gauge their mastery of the topics presented. Regardless of mathematical background, all readers will appreciate the value of statistics as a fundamental quantitative skill for the life sciences.
 The authors have prepared a companion guide to using R, a free online statistical tool. The guide, as well as additional appendices and 300 additional problems to supplement the book, is available for download at no additional cost. Not-for-sale instructor resource material available to college and university faculty only; contact publisher directly.

Statistical analysis has become a fundamental quantitative skill for biology students. This highly accessible and thorough introduction to the use of statistics in the biological sciences emphasizes the relationships among probability, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing. The authors highlight the expected value of various test statistics under the null and research hypotheses to develop students understanding of hypotheses-testing methodology. Because student projects often have small sample sizes, nonparametric alternatives are included with the standard parametric techniques. The examples are easy to understand and are drawn from many areas in the life sciences, including genetics, physiology, ecology, agriculture, and medicine. The end-of-chapter problems require the student to choose the appropriate analysis, inducing them to hone decision-making skills that are critical to statistical analysis.

With the release of the ISA-TR84.00.07 technical report on performance-based design of fire and gas detection systems for process industries, risk-based techniques for detector placement have become prevalent in fire and gas system (FGS) design. While the technical report addresses designing the FGS based on the user’s risk profile and performance requirements, it does not provide any guidance on implementing the FGS lifecycle. This handbook provides a thorough overview of the FGS design lifecycle presented in the technical report, with an examination of each phase of the lifecycle and the practical activities required to develop an FGS design. In addition to discussing the design process, this handbook also provides valuable appendices that contain data for FGS system risk analysis, FGS risk grading procedures, and a discussion of the FGS mapping techniques used to verify the achievement of the newly defined coverage targets.
