Download or read book Statistical Modeling and Machine Learning for Molecular Biology written by Alan Moses and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular biologists are performing increasingly large and complicated experiments, but often have little background in data analysis. The book is devoted to teaching the statistical and computational techniques molecular biologists need to analyze their data. It explains the big-picture concepts in data analysis using a wide variety of real-world molecular biological examples such as eQTLs, ortholog identification, motif finding, inference of population structure, protein fold prediction and many more. The book takes a pragmatic approach, focusing on techniques that are based on elegant mathematics yet are the simplest to explain to scientists with little background in computers and statistics.
