With its emphasis on statistical reasoning and experiment planning, this volume shows how and when to use the appropriate statistical techniques in the fields of food and biotechnology. It also explains how to use parametric statistical methods appropriately.

The idea is to have a book, which explains the use of statistical methods which are mostly used in food and biotechnology and the corresponding basics in form of case studies. The focus will be on understanding how and when to use the appropriate statistical techniques. Emphasis has will be placed on pre-requisites (statistical reasoning and planning of experiments) and the appropriate use of parametric statistical methods.

Explains the use of statistical methods used mostly in food and biotechnology Clarifies how and when to use the appropriate statistical techniques Advises and demonstrates good use of statistical methodologies
