Statistical Procedures for Agricultural Research

The Agricultural Field Experiment A Statistical Examination of Theory and Practice S.C. Pearce Here is a comprehensive overview of the statistical knowledge needed to conduct successful field experiments on crops. Blending theory and practice, it covers a wide range of subjects from the fertility of fields and the allocation of resources to the cooperative efforts needed for a successful experiment. 1983 (0 471–10511–2) 335 pp. Statistics for Experimenters An Introduction to Design, Data Analysis, and Model Building George E. P. Box, William G. Hunter and J. Stuart Hunter This fresh approach to statistics focuses on applications in the physical, engineering, biological, and social sciences. Written for the non–statistician, the book emphasizes the need for the investigator to make his research as effective as possible through the proper choice and conduct of experiments, and the appropriate analysis of data. Included are numerous worked examples, exercises with answers), and end–of–chapter questions and problems. 1978 (0 471–09315–7) 653 pp.
