Reviews

'Pierre Dutilleul has written a book that has a friendly style, includes pertinent examples as well as explanations and motivations … I know of no other book quite like it. I recommend the book highly to students, teachers and researchers in fields including biology, ecology and environmental science as well as in mainstream and applied statistics.' David Brillinger, University of California, Berkeley

'Dutilleul's book achieves the goal of minimizing the conceptual distance between the biologist and the applied statistician …' Plant Science Bulletin
