CAST contains several alternative e-books that cover the material in an introductory statistics course. The 'biometric' e-book uses data sets and scenarios from the biological, agricultural and health sciences. Other e-books use examples from different subject areas.

Since similar statistical methods are used in most application areas, the statistical concepts covered by the different e-books are mostly the same. You can therefore study any CAST e-book to learn these concepts. However you may find it more interesting to read applications that are related to your professional interests if a more relevant CAST e-book has been written.
