title: Statistical approaches to the design of toxicology studies.
abstract: Application of statistics to toxicological studies involves hypothesis testing, model fitting, and reduction of dimensionality. This unit reviews statistical approaches to data (i.e., descriptive statistics, experimental design, outliers and rounding of numbers, and specific applications) and includes a set of decision trees to assist in choosing the appropriate methods.
