Statistical methods provide a logical, coherent framework in which data from experimental science can be analyzed. However, many researchers lack the statistical skills or resources that would allow them to explore their data to its full potential. Introduction to Data Analysis with R for Forensic Sciences minimizes theory and mathematics and focuses on the application and practice of statistics to provide researchers with the dexterity necessary to systematically analyze data discovered from the fruits of their research.
Using traditional techniques and employing examples and tutorials with real data collected from experiments, this book presents the following critical information necessary for researchers:
-
A refresher on basic statistics and an introduction to R
-
Considerations and techniques for the visual display of data through graphics
-
An overview of statistical hypothesis tests and the reasoning behind them
-
A comprehensive guide to the use of the linear model, the foundation of most statistics encountered
-
An introduction to extensions to the linear model for commonly encountered scenarios, including logistic and Poisson regression
-
Instruction on how to plan and design experiments in a way that minimizes cost and maximizes the chances of finding differences that may exist
Focusing on forensic examples but useful for anyone working in a laboratory, this volume enables researchers to get the most out of their experiments by allowing them to cogently analyze the data they have collected, saving valuable time and effort.

 Introduction to Embedded Systems: Using Microcontrollers and the MSP430
This textbook serves as an introduction to the subject of embedded systems design, using microcontrollers as core components. It develops concepts from the ground up, covering the development of embedded systems technology, architectural and organizational aspects of controllers and systems, processor models, and peripheral devices.... |  | Frommer's Alaska 2010 (Frommer's Color Complete Guides)
As a child, when my family traveled outside Alaska for vacations, I often met other children who asked, “Wow, you live in Alaska? What’s it like?” I never did well with that question. To me, the place I was visiting was far simpler and easier to describe than the one I was from. The Lower 48 seemed a fairly homogeneous land... | | Dr.Riemann's Zeros
In 1859 Bernhard Riemann, a shy German mathematician, wrote an eight-page article, suggesting an answer to a problem that had long puzzled mathematicians. For the next 150 years, the world's mathematicians have longed to confirm the Riemann hypothesis. So great is the interest in its solution that in 2001, an American foundation offered a... |
