Introduction to Cutting Edge Statistical Methods

The book introduces to the reader a number of cutting edge statistical methods which can be used for the analysis of genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data sets.

In particular, in the field of systems biology, researchers are trying to analyze as many data as possible in a given biological system (such as a cell or an organ).

The appropriate statistical evaluation of these large-scale data is critical for the correct interpretation, and different experimental approaches require different approaches for the statistical analysis of these data.

This book is written by biostatisticians and mathematicians but is aimed as a valuable guide for the experimental researcher as well as computational biologists who often lack an appropriate background in statistical analysis.
