About the Book

This book covers all the topics taught at the postgraduate level in the life sciences discipline. Part I covers the basics of biostatistics. Part II covers advanced topics that are needed to be applied by researchers. The main objective of this book is to explain the complicated concepts of biostatistics in an easy to understand manner using illustrations and numerical examples. The book will be a useful source for postgraduates and researchers in agricultural, biological, medical, earth, social, psychological and pharmaceutical sciences.
