It's an unexpected first step for a food science blog (flog?), but maybe the most important part of our field is mathematics. So let me introduce a link to a really easy statistics site, made by Jim Deacon (Biology Teaching Organisation, University of Edinburgh).
Introduction to the site by the author himself:
Introduction to the site by the author himself:
I have produced this site, as someone who uses statistics in my experimental work, but I am not a statistician. The site is intended to provide a simple, straightforward guide to the basics of experimental design and to some of the common statistical tests.
There are several excellent sites on Statistical methods. But I think that many undergraduates (and graduate students) want only a user-friendly beginner's guide - or a refresher course - that enables them to use statistical tests with a minimum of fuss. That's the aim of this site. It is by no means a comprehensive guide, but it will get you started and, if nothing more, it will help you to understand the meaning of the symbols you see in scientific papers.
