The book is a virtual introduction to the basics of statistical planning and inference as applied to forestry research. This document had its origin as lecture notes for the course on statistical analysis specified for Ph.D. students registered under the Forest Research Institute (FRI)-Deemed University, Dehra Dun, India. Thus the contents conform to the syllabus specified for the said course. Starting from some of the basic concepts in statistics like probability, distribution, and tests of significance, the book gives a nice exposition on experimental design and sampling theory applied in forestry contexts. Topics on regression and multivariate analysis are also included. The style of presentation is suited to postgraduate students in biological sciences. The concepts and applications are discussed with real-life examples. The book is intended to be of use mainly to forestry students but will also be a valuable reference guide for teachers and scientists in research institutions dealing with forestry and allied subjects.
