    Haven't read all of it yet, but I've used the library's copy in the past and have found this book an excellent, readable reference on statistics for biologists.

    A very thorough and non-cookbook hardcore stats book. I use this in my research to make sure I know what I'm up to. Also has excellent references. Bother that the tables are separate, what's the deal with this?

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very important reference book
    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2010
    Currently, there are many statistical software packages available for researchers to perform statistical tests. Thus many statistical books become less useful than in the past.

    However, this is not the case for this book. This is so because this book contains many topics which are currently ignored in statistical software packages, for example, model II ANOVA, which gave me the tool to analyze many data producing about ten papers in research journals and books.

    Another example would be the Jackknife test, which is not easy to find in other statistical textbooks.

    Finally, this book does have many worked examples, which can teach me hand in hand how to calculate. Actually not many books can be written in such a good way.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent basic text of statistical methods
    Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2000
    This book and BIOSTATISTICAL ANALYSIS by Jerrold Zar are my main "go to" books when I have questions about statistical methods, applications, or interpretation.
    Zar's book is probably the more understandable primer text on statistics of the two, but BIOMETRY is better at addressing non-parametrics, though it is certainly not a comprehensive treatment of that field of statistical analysis.
    I typically go to Zar first, then to Sokal and Rohlf -- a great one-two combination that takes care of most of my statistical needs.
    I appreciate the inside covers of BIOMETRY, with its summary table that provides a starting place for choosing the most likely statistical tests for a give comination of numbers of samples and numbers of variables in an experiment.
    You should be advised that the book BIOMETRY does not contain tables of critical values. You will need to purchase the book STATISTICAL TABLES by Rohlf and Sokal to get them.
    All in all, an excellent book on statistical methods.
    4.5 to 5 stars...I'll give it 5 stars.

    1.0 out of 5 stars It's just so dry....!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013

    This was required for a statistics class. Thankfully I didn't have to get the information for the class solely from this book, otherwise I would have had to find some kid to buy 'medicine' from to give me an eerie compulsion to sit and read anything put in front of me.

    This book was unreadable and made me want to claw my own eyes out. I'm fairly convinced that the authors are actually robots, robots that were not programmed to be able to communicate with humans on a human's level.

    I also nurse a suspicion that the most basic information that you need could be written on a couple 3x5's, thus making this book ridiculously superfluous.

    But that's just me.
