Description for Experimental Design for Laboratory Biologists: Maximising Information and Improving Reproducibility
paperback. A guide to designing lab-based biological experiments that have low bias, high precision and widely applicable results. Num Pages: 425 pages, 124 b/w illus. BIC Classification: MBGL; PBWH; PDN; PS. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 248 x 230 x 24. Weight in Grams: 946.
Specifically intended for lab-based biomedical researchers, this practical guide shows how to design experiments that are reproducible, with low bias, high precision, and widely applicable results. With specific examples from research using both cell cultures and model organisms, it explores key ideas in experimental design, assesses common designs, and shows how to plan a successful experiment. It demonstrates how to control biological and technical factors that can introduce bias or add noise, and covers rarely discussed topics such as graphical data exploration, choosing outcome variables, data quality control checks, and data pre-processing. It also shows how to use R for ... Read more

Reviews for Experimental Design for Laboratory Biologists: Maximising Information and Improving Reproducibility
'This is a wonderfully lucid introduction to experimental design, written by an author who is clearly aware of the pitfalls that exist for the unwary experimenter. The focus is on how to design experiments to ensure reproducible research, with many examples illustrating general principles that need to be understood to avoid error and bias. The coverage of statistical analysis follows ... Read more
