T2 Primer of Applied Regression and Analysis of Variance, 3e YR 2017 FD 2017 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9780071824118 LK accessbiomedicalscience.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1141897538 RD 2025/01/18 AB Investigators in the health and biological sciences use a tremendous variety of experimental techniques to gather data. Molecular biologists examine fragments of DNA in test tubes and chromatographs. Physiologists measure the function of organ systems with transducers in whole animals. Clinical investigators observe the response of people to medical and surgical treatments. Epidemiologists collect information about the presence of diseases in whole populations. The types of data collected by each of these investigators are as different as the methods used to collect them. These differences are so great that the observations and methods of one discipline can be incomprehensible to people working in another. Once the data are collected, however, they are analyzed using common statistical methods.
