Statistical Analysis of Ecotoxicity Studies, authored by John W. Green, provides a comprehensive guide to the design, analysis, and interpretation of toxicity studies that assess the impact of chemicals on the environment. Highlighting ecotoxicity studies, this book offers methods applicable across various toxicity research scenarios. It features numerous datasets from both laboratory and field experiments to illustrate key concepts clearly. These datasets reveal essential techniques, common pitfalls, and necessary precautions derived from these studies.

The text covers recently developed methodologies for analyzing severity scores and other ordered responses, along with detailed power analyses of competing tests. Additionally, it includes computer simulation studies of regression models to enhance understanding of the sensitivity of different methods and the quality of parameter estimates from regression models. The authors also discuss the regulatory process, explaining how test guidelines are developed, and review the statistical methodologies found in current or pending OECD and USEPA ecotoxicity guidelines.

This important guide is designed for researchers, environmental scientists, and professionals involved in assessing chemical toxicity in ecological contexts.
