Cindi Gumbs asks:
"We are wondering if there are any flow courses being offered or books
available which discuss the analysis of data....."

The following is the printout of information on a book by Jim Watson
on data analysis whisc is very good. The original info is from our
web page at http://www.cyto.purdue.edu (general Information)
there are about 25 books of flow, clincial, confocal reviewed

Flow Cytometry Data Analysis
Canbridge University Press, Cambridge, 1992
James V. Watson

12 Chapters, 288 Pages, Extensive Appendices, Indexed
ISBN 0-521-41545-4 [Hardcover]

Short Summary

This is an excellent text dealing exclusively with the many
problems of data analysis in flow cytometry.
The beauty of this text is that the writer assumes nothing and
begins with first principles. He then links each of the
components necessary to understand flow cytometry problems in
particular. So much of flow cytometry requires a good understanding
of data analysis and this book will help you work through this
area. What is really neat about this text is that each section is
handled as though this is the first time a user is confronted
with the area. Explanations abound as to the premises upon which we
base our understanding of statistics and multivariate analysis.
Most useful is that the author discusses in detail some areas that
have been virtually ignored in most texts, such as enzyme
kinetics. The appendix is full of useful statistical tables and
derivations for those who want a little more detail.
This is clearly an excellent text for those wishing to understand
a little more about data analysis in flow cytometry.
