The world of statistics is enormous, and one can easily get lost in the numerous definitions, equations, and different approaches. There are many books on biomedical statistics/biostatistics, some specifically on statistics for forensic sciences (mostly covering topics not related to forensic anthropology) and a handful on statistics for anthropology (mostly related to research in cultural anthropology or physical anthropology). However, most of these books bring the statistical theory and definitions to the forefront, often showing complex calculations and only presenting a few examples. While understanding the mathematics behind statistical analyses is no doubt beneficial, probably only a few students and practitioners have the time (and willingness) to immerse themselves in the mathematical formulae. With this book, we intend to provide a practical guide for forensic scientists, mainly anthropologists and pathologists, on how to apply, interpret, and present statistical analyses in scientific publications and in forensic practice. Mostly the statistical concepts are presented in the context of particular research questions in forensic anthropology. The level of complexity of statistical approaches presented varies from basic descriptive statistics to advanced Bayesian frameworks, so it is our hope that each reader can learn something new.
