| Summary |
"The theoretical aspects are complemented by a discussion of several commercial applications with sections exploring various software packages from BioDiscovery, Insightful, SAS, and Spotfire. The book is illustrated with more than 230 figures in full color. The attached CD-ROMs contain full-feature trial versions of leading software for image and data analysis allowing the reader to practice everything explained in the book."--BOOK JACKET. "Data Analysis Tools for DNA Microarrays builds the foundation in the statistics and data analysis tools needed by biologists and provides the overview of microarrays needed by computer scientists. Describing the most complex data analysis techniques in simple language, this book aims to lower the communication barrier between life scientists and analytical scientists. The book explains complex and sometimes subtle data analysis issues providing the life scientist with the ability to make informed choices in the day-by-day exploratory data analysis. For the analytical scientist, the book explains the most common biological questions and emphasizes specific data analysis issues characteristic of microarray data." |
