More About This Title Computational Network Analysis with R -Applications in Biology, Medicine and Chemistry

English

This new title in the well-established "Quantitative Network Biology" series includes innovative and existing methods for analyzing network data in such areas as network biology and chemoinformatics.
With its easy-to-follow introduction to the theoretical background and application-oriented chapters, the book demonstrates that R is a powerful language for statistically analyzing networks and for solving such large-scale phenomena as network sampling and bootstrapping.
Written by editors and authors with an excellent track record in the field, this is the ultimate reference for R in Network Analysis.
