Using simple mathematics, all these topics are carefully explained and illustrated with figures and worked examples. The emphasis throughout is on visual representation and on helping the reader to approach the analysis of experimental data with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis useful guide explains how to evaluate uncertainties of key parameters, such as the mean, median, proportion and correlation coefficient. Crucially, the reader will also learn why confidence intervals are important and how they compare against other measures of uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Statistical Error - A Primer for Biologists \u003c\/i\u003ecan be used both by students and researchers to deepen their knowledge and find practical formulae to carry out error analysis calculations.
