Statistical Interpretation of Toxicity Data

Many of the topics discussed in this chapter pertain to experimental data in general, but the context of their use and examples given are in the field of toxicology. The discussion focuses on the statistical interpretation of data rather than on the statistical procedures used in the data analysis. For an extensive discussion of the statistical analysis of biological data, the reader may refer to a multitude of books and articles.
