Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Intuitive Biostatistics with Python is a comprehensive guide intended for a broad audience in the life sciences including laboratory scientists, students, technical staff, and physicians wishing to deepen their knowledge of data analysis. The goal of this book is to make biostatistics accessible and practical by integrating its concepts with Python, a powerful and easy-to-learn programming language. This dual approach enables life science professionals to better understand their own data, critically evaluate published work, and acquire highly sought-after computational skills.The choice of Python is deliberate, offering significant advantages over traditional point-and-click software. It ensures transparency and reproducibility through auditable code, offers unparalleled flexibility for custom analyses, and fosters deep computational thinking by revealing the mechanics of statistical tests. Moreover, Python is free, open source, and increasingly integrated into scientific and educational workflows, particularly with the use of artificial intelligence.This book offers original and practical explanations of fundamental statistical principles such as calculating P values and confidence intervals, bootstrapping, and simulation, using visualization to make abstract concepts tangible. Readers are encouraged to actively engage in learning through fully shared and well-documented code snippets, easily adaptable to their own research and publications. To reinforce learning, each chapter concludes with a cheat sheet summarizing the newly acquired functions and methods. The book also offers detailed, step-by-step demonstrations of how Python's statistical packages work, including the underlying mathematical equations. Ultimately, this book represents a commitment to improving scientific rigor and solving challenges such as reproducibility in the biomedical sciences.…
