#MathOnco Issue 95: clonal diversity, Markov chains, p-hacking, and more.

Math Oncology

From the editor
Hello!
Today I've included a neat agent-based approach to clonal diversity, an article on markov chains in skin cancer, and for something a bit different: a preprint on p-hacking.
Enjoy the holidays -- see you next year!

#MathOnco - Book of the month
The Art of Theoretical Biology
Franziska Matthäus, Sebastian Matthäus, Sarah Harris, Thomas Hillen: "This beautifully crafted book collects images, which were created during the process of research in all fields of theoretical biology. Data analysis, numerical treatment of a model, or simulation results yield stunning images, which represent pieces of art just by themselves. The approach of the book is to present for each piece of visualization a lucid synopsis of the scientific background as well as an outline of the artistic vision."
