Statistics for Biomedical Engineers and Scientists: How to Analyze and Visualize Data gives an intuitive understanding of the concepts of basic statistics with a focus on solving biomedical problems. It gives the practical skills to use statistics to visualize and analyze data; to ask, and answer, questions about data.

Practical activities and exercises are provided for solving both ‘by hand’ and through using MATLAB. The book could still be used as a book on practical and applied statistics without engaging with the MATLAB exercises.

This text is ideal for students in biomedical engineering and biomedical science taking a course on basic statistics and for researchers who need a self-learning handbook to help them visualize and analyze their data.

This book will enable readers to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics
• Analyze data and choose an appropriate hypothesis test to answer a given question
• Compute numerical statistical measures and perform hypothesis tests ‘by hand’
• Visualize data and perform statistical analysis using MATLAB

• A practical guide to visualizing and analyzing statistical data
• Many practical examples and exercises to illustrate the power of statistics in biomedical engineering applications
• Gives an intuitive understanding of statistical tests
• Imparts practical skills by showing both how to perform operations ‘by hand’ and use MATLAB as a computational tool
• Online downloadable materials for students and teachers
