Statistical analysis of ecotoxicity studies (First edition.)

'Statistical Analysis of Ecotoxicity Studies' offers a guide to the design, analysis, and interpretation of a range of experiments that are used to assess the toxicity of chemicals.

While the book highlights ecotoxicity studies, the methods presented are applicable to the broad range of toxicity studies.

The text contains myriad datasets (from laboratory and field research) that clearly illustrate the book's topics.

The datasets reveal the techniques, pitfalls, and precautions derived from these studies.

The text includes information on recently developed methods for the analysis of severity scores and other ordered responses, as well as extensive power studies of competing tests and computer simulation studies of regression models that offer an understanding of the sensitivity (or lack thereof) of various methods and the quality of parameter estimates from regression models.
