SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book is targeted to biologists with limited statistical background and to statisticians and computer scientists interested in being effective collaborators on multidisciplinary DNA microarray projects. State-of-the-art analysis methods are presented with minimal mathematical notation and a focus on concepts. This book is unique because it is authored by statisticians at the National Cancer Institute who are actively involved in the application of microarray technology."--Jacket
