Statistics in Endocrinology

This volume comprises the presentations made at The Workshop Conference on Statistics in Endocrinology held at Endicott House in Dedham, Massachusetts, December 4-7, 1967.The workshop was organized to acquaint endocrine investigators with modern experimental design and statistical analysis. It demonstrated the with the artful use of statistical tools the endocrinologist may free himself from many unnecessary constraints and thereby increase the economy and validity of his experiments."Contents: " 1.
