About the Author :
Nathan Whitmore is a conservation scientist and practitioner who worked previously as a fisheries observer, and a ranger for the New Zealand Department of Conservation. Between 2012 and 2018 he worked in Papua New Guinea where he provided scientific and project support for the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Papua New Guinea programme.

Review :
"The author leads the reader smoothly through the chapters of Part I and II, giving exactly as much information as is needed. This is the biggest advantage of the book. The new information and the R codes are given in a short but comprehensive and thoughtful way. With few words, the reader receives a message which is clear and easy to understand." - Kinga Salapa, International Society for Clinical Biostatistics, 72, 2021
