Model Based Inference in the Life Sciences

<P>This textbook introduces a science philosophy called information theoretic based on Kullback-Leibler information theory. It focuses on a science philosophy based on multiple working hypotheses and statistical models to represent them. The text is written for people new to the information-theoretic approaches to statistical inference whether graduate students post-docs or professionals. Readers are however expected to have a background in general statistical principles regression analysis and some exposure to likelihood methods. This is not an elementary text as it assumes reasonable competence in modeling and parameter estimation.</P>
