| This book has been used at UCSC extension, and seems most of the students are using this book like a lecture/summary notes, not as a full textbook. Without attending the class, it is VERY difficult to understand. However, once you attended the class (and study hard with some supplement textbooks if you are a beginner), you will realize that this book summarizes key points very well.<br> So... if you are a beginner to this field, you might want to look for an alternative. If you are already comfortable with statistics and bioinformatics, and want to check-out key points, maybe you are interested.
I bought the book for one of Dr. Jagota's classes at UCSC Extension and to say the least, I am very disappointed. The book is no more then an incomplete collection of his notes that he uses for one of his classes. There are very few complete examples and he uses terminology with out explanation, assuming the user knows everything about statistics and biology. This is not a good text for any one just starting out and I highly doubt it would be of much value to someone who is already in the field of Bioinformatics.
I bought this book for the Data Analysis, Modeling, and Visualization class run by the author, Arun Jagota. It is little more then the notes he uses in his class bound in a nice little book. There are very few meaningful examples and the text assumes the reader already has a knowledge base in the subject since little detail is given in most areas of the book. If you are going to take this class and have to buy the book then I would suggest saving your money and buying the pdf file version of it and printing it out. Chances are you won't use this text very often. |
