Description
All areas of biometry are covered in this dictionary including: agricultural and medical sciences; clinical and epidemiological studies; ecology, population and quantitative genetics; population dynamics; and survival analysis and growth curve analysis. General statistical methodology is also covered, for example: experimental design; prbability theory; stochastic processes and times series analysis; distribution theory; point and interval estimation; selection theory; hypothesis testing; regression analysis; analysis of variance and multi-variate analysis. The explanations are on a low mathematical level and should be understood by people with an introductory knowledge of statistics. All the terms are explained in English and translated into French, Spanish, Dutch, German, Italian and Russian. An index in each of the languages allows easy translation from one language into the other.
