Abstract

Explanatory Notes on Some Important Statistical Topics

Eurof Walters

This paper describes and elaborates on some statistical topics that will be of importance to research workers in ART (Assisted Reproduction Technology). The aim is to provide fairly elementary and easily accessible descriptions of those topics. The topics included will of course have been well covered in statistical texts, but in a manner that may be alien to biologists. Simplicity and accessibility will therefore be the keynote.

The selection of topics for ventures of this sort will of course be a personal matter, but those selected in this paper appear to the writer to be the most important, and in need of a simple elaboration. The anticipated readership will be research workers in the field of ART (Assisted Reproduction Technology).
