Title: Do NOT recommend
Review: I found this book to be thoroughly frustrating! While many examples are very helpful, the authors explanation leaves much to be desired. There are many many assumptions made in this book that you simply 'know' what he is talking about. There are errors and considering there is now a 9th edition out that is unacceptable. There are many places the author seems to run out of gas in his explanation of new ideas or else a computer is going to figure it out so not go into more detail. He does not follow through on problems and does not explain where he got an answer until a page or 2 later...leaving one frustrated as one tries to understand. I could go on and on, but this is NOT a very good book. While it may contain biological settings to get across what he is trying to prove, that does not mean he explains the statistical component very well. I would not recommend it at all,or else make sure you have a professor that can explain all the nuances that Daniel misses.
