Randomization, Bootstrap and Monte Carlo Methods in Biology, Second Edition

By Bryan F.J. Manly and Jorge A. Navarro Alberto

Book Overview

Randomization, Bootstrap and Monte Carlo Methods in Biology, Second Edition features new material on on bootstrap confidence intervals and significance testing, and incorporates new developments on the treatments of randomization methods for regression and analysis variation, including descriptions of applications of these methods in spreadsheet programs such as Lotus and other commercial packages. This second edition illustrates the value of modern computer intensive methods in the solution of a wide range of problems, with particular emphasis on biological applications. Examples given in the text include the controversial topic of whether there is periodicity between co-occurrences of species on islands.

Good alternative to Manly's book on Randomization, Bootstrap and Monte carlo methods

This book was originally purchased to get a better understanding of Monte Carlo techniques used in biological data analyses. I compared it to Manly's more expensive book: Randomization, Bootstrap and Monte Carlo Methods in Biology, and found this edition provided most of the same information, albeit with slightly less information. It does give an adequate overview of Monte Carlo simulations and covers the use of randomization techniques in regression analysis.
