Statistics for Veterinary and Animal Science
Statistics is a subject that many veterinary and other animal science students approach with foreboding, but it is essential for them to grasp the basics in order to understand their subject and play a contributive part in it. This is true whether they be practitioners, research scientists, diagnosticians, or run commercial pathology services, work in research and development of veterinary drugs, or simply care for healthy animals in performance and production. The increasing need to keep up with the literature and to evaluate the competitive promotions for animal systems and health products requires that students have a sound foundation in biological statistics applied to animal care. The emergence of new diseases requires that risk factors associated with them are carefully evaluated.
This introductory book will lead the reader through the basics and form a bridge to more complicated statistical procedures found in advanced texts. Written in a non-mathematical way, it contains numerous worked examples helping the reader to develop understanding of the procedures rather than simply the mechanical abilities to perform them.

Finally stats for my tiny brain…,
First stats book that I have read that gives me what I need in minutes. It also explains the concepts and functions that I use everyday in a manner understandable for most earthlings.
Thank you.

Almost Makes Stats Not Suck, but Not Quite,
I am a graduate student/veterinary resident taking a statistics course. This book is not required for my class, but “recommended,” meaning that the instructor more or less follows this book for our lectures.
Having never had any type of stats class at all, I was pretty concerned about this class. In some ways, I still am, but this book is helping. It is pretty easy to read, and, most of the time, with each new concept introduced, there is an example to follow in the text. There are also questions to test yourself at the end of each chapter. The answers to these questions are in the back with decent explanations so if you get stuck, you can take a peek and “work backwards.”
Overall, a good book especially for its target audience. Most examples are animal related. FYI…stats is still not cool. :)
