Statistics for Microarrays

This book offers a detailed exploration of statistical methods for analyzing microarray data, providing essential guidance for researchers and students. Statistics for Microarrays is a key resource.

The rise in microarray technology has created a demand for established standards in experimental notation, data representation, and the implementation of standard controls. This book addresses these pressing needs. Over the past decade, interest in microarrays has surged, making it essential to have clear guidelines for data normalization and analysis techniques. Statistics for Microarrays provides a comprehensive overview of the statistical methods necessary for analyzing microarray data effectively.

Statistics for Microarrays is the first publication to systematically cover statistical approaches at every stage of microarray data analysis. It begins with obtaining quality data and progresses to interpreting meaningful results. The book includes detailed discussions on experimental design, data preparation, image analysis, normalization, quality control, and statistical inference, making it an invaluable resource for those involved in this field.

The text is designed for a wide audience, including statistically-minded biologists, bioinformaticians, biostatisticians, and computer scientists. It is also suitable for postgraduate students studying bioinformatics. With practical examples throughout, the book integrates computational techniques and is supported by an accompanying website that features color images, software, and data sets to enhance the learning experience.
