Further Reading
The contents of this chapter are described in most elementary textbooks on statistics. Many such books take a rather mathematical approach to the subject. It is often beneficial for the understanding to present statistical ideas and tools by practical examples. Statistics for Experimenters by Box, Hunter and Hunter [1] does so in a clear way and is probably one of the better statistics books available for people doing experimental work. Those readers who want to write programs for statistical analysis might consider Statistics – an introduction using R by Crawley [2]. “R” is a freely available language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is platform independent and can be downloaded at http://cran.r-project.org/.
