Summary

Systems Biology is moving away from the mathematical modeling and subsequent analysis of systems to a full statistical analysis and probabilistic reasoning over the inferences that can be made from these modeling exercises. There is a need for a comprehensive handbook covering the major themes in the area. This book provides a full and detailed treatment of important and emerging fields of statistical systems biology, with focus on characterising uncertainty and stochastic effects in mathematical models of biological systems.
