TLDR
An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics.Abstract:
This Second Edition of Myles Hollander and Douglas A. Wolfe's successful Nonparametric Statistical Methods meets the needs of a new generation of users, with completely up-to-date coverage of this important statistical area. Like its predecessor, the revised edition, along with its companion ftp site, aims to equip readers with the conceptual and technical skills necessary to select and apply the appropriate procedures for a given situation. An extensive array of examples drawn from actual experiments illustrates clearly how to use nonparametric approaches to handle one- or two-sample location and dispersion problems, dichotomous data, and one-way and two-way layout problems. An ideal text for an upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate course, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Second Edition is also an invaluable source for professionals who want to keep abreast of the latest developments within this dynamic branch of modern statistics.read more

TL;DR: In studies of macroecological patterns at a global scale, the simple α-shape method seems to be a more parsimonious option for extrapolating species distributions from primary data than are distribution models performed indiscriminately and automatically with MaxEnt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between five coexisting species of marine copepods feeding on naturally occurring particulate matter
TL;DR: The apparently sustained coexistence of the five sympatric species is attributable to several physical and biological mechanisms working simultaneously.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the utility of the MMTV-Ki-rasB transgenic mice for testing potential anticancer agents and suggest that although the FTI L-744,832 can inhibit tumor growth in this model, Ki-Ras may not be the sole mediator of the biological effects of theFTI.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a biodegradable polymer when used as an adjunct to standard closure methods for sealing significant intraoperative air leaks that develop from pulmonary surgery.

TL;DR: Clear insights are obtained into the effects of invasion of managed native forests by black locust, confirming that the alien species transforms several ecosystem components, modifying the plant-soil community and affecting biodiversity at different levels.
