The Optics of Life: A Biologist's Guide to Light in Nature
Optics--a field of physics focusing on the study of light--is also central to many areas of biology, including vision, ecology, botany, animal behavior, neurobiology, and molecular biology. The Optics of Life introduces the fundamentals of optics to biologists and nonphysicists, giving them the tools they need to successfully incorporate... | | Probability: With Applications and R
An introduction to probability at the undergraduate level
Chance and randomness are encountered on a daily basis. Authored by a highly qualified professor in the field, Probability: With Applications and R delves into the theories and applications essential to obtaining a thorough understanding of probability. ... | | Evolution For Dummies (Math & Science)Today, most colleges and universities offer evolutionary study as part of their biology curriculums. Evolution For Dummies will track a class in which evolution is taught and give an objective scientific view of the subject. This balanced guide explores the history and future of evolution, explaining the concepts and science behind it,... |

Kernel Smoothing: Principles, Methods and Applications
Comprehensive theoretical overview of kernel smoothing methods with motivating examples
Kernel smoothing is a flexible nonparametric curve estimation method that is applicable when parametric descriptions of the data are not sufficiently adequate. This book explores theory and methods of kernel smoothing in a variety of... | | Machine Learning and Data Mining
The book describes the basics of machine learning principles and algorithms that are used in data mining and is intended for students of computer science, researchers who need to adapt various algorithms for particular data mining tasks, and for education of sophisticated users of machine learning and data mining tools.
... | | Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Inference: With Examples in R, SAS and ADMB
This book takes a fresh look at the popular and well-established method of maximum likelihood for statistical estimation and inference. It begins with an intuitive introduction to the concepts and background of likelihood, and moves through to the latest developments in maximum likelihood methodology, including general latent variable ... |

Plant Growth and Climate
Evidence grows daily of the changing climate and its impact on plants and animals. Plant function is inextricably linked to climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. On the shortest and smallest scales, the climate affects the plant’s immediate environment and so directly influences physiological processes. At larger scales,... | | Case Studies in Bayesian Statistical Modelling and Analysis
Provides an accessible foundation to Bayesian analysis using real world models
This book aims to present an introduction to Bayesian modelling and computation, by considering real case studies drawn from diverse fields spanning ecology, health, genetics and finance. Each chapter comprises a description of the problem, the... | | Mites: Ecology, Evolution & Behaviour: Life at a Microscale
More than 40,000 species of mites have been described, and up to 1 million may exist on earth. These tiny arachnids play many ecological roles including acting as vectors of disease, vital players in soil formation, and important agents of biological control. But despite the grand diversity of mites, even trained biologists are often unaware... |
