Description
From the Reviews of the First Edition: "This magnificent book attempts to catalogue and introduce all aspects of modern statistical genetics...I can thoroughly recommend it." Short Book Reviews of ISI "...extremely well written and referenced work, which must come highly recommended..." Statistical Methods in Medical Research* Provides comprehensive coverage of a thriving area of research* Features nine newly commissioned chapters* All existing chapters have been fully updated with new advances in the field and new references* Now includes a glossary of terms, and a list of acronyms and abbreviations.* Features extensive cross-referencing between chapters.* Each chapter is written by a leading international authority from the field.* Complemented by examples, case studies, and references to useful resources on the web.
