Description
Due to the tremendous accumulation of data for genetic markers, pharmacogenetics, the study of inherited variation in drug response, is one of the hottest areas of research in biomedical science. "Statistical Methods for Pharmacogenetics" presents recent developments in statistical methodology with a number of detailed worked examples that outline how these methods can be applied. The book provides the necessary background on genetics and modeling as well as the tools needed to understand and model the genetic variation for drug response. Accessible and comprehensive, it equips statisticians with a thorough understanding of this complex field and how computational skills can be employed.
