Tarımsal Araştırmalarda İstatistiksel Analizler

Tarımsal Araştırmalarda İstatistiksel Analizler (Statistical Analyses in Agricultural Research) is a comprehensive reference source edited by Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Takma, Prof. Dr. Yakut Gevrekçi, and Dr. Hatice Hızlı, published by Holistence Publications. Given the key role of statistics in the development of modern science and technology, this work focuses on obtaining reliable results in food production —the foundation of agriculture. The book's primary goal is to provide a statistical basis for studies on topics such as plant and animal production, yield and quality improvement, care, feeding, and protection. This resource, consisting of 13 chapters begins with basic statistical principles and details advanced designs critical for field trials, including data transformation, nested classification designs, lattice designs, and augmented experimental designs. The book also focuses on modern and innovative statistical methods, incorporating advanced analytical techniques such as curve modelling with SAS, mathematical models for in-vitro gas production techniques, time series analysis (with applications in watermelon and milk production)  and machine learning (for seafood evaluation and dry bean classification). Furthermore, multivariate techniques such as factor analysis and path analysis are presented with practical applications. This work is a valuable resource specifically for undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students, as well as academics in the field of agriculture.
