Basic Statistics: A Primer for the Biomedical Sciences (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics – Applied Probability and Statistics Section) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Regression Analysis by Example Samprit Chatterjee and Bertram Price Bridges the gap between theory and practice of regression analysis, providing a balance between theoretical results and the analyst s subjective judgment. Describes methods by using realistic examples that emphasize the analysis of data and that contain irregularities similar to those encountered in practice. Demonstrates how to apply theoretical results by utilizing standard and some not so standard summary statistics on the basis of their intuitive appeal. 1977 Interactive Data Analysis A Practical Primer Donald R. McNeil Introduces the use of Exploratory Data Analysis in scientific work. Gives a set of numerical and graphical methods to find structure in data. Illustrations show the power and simplicity of the methods, and all listings are given in Fortran and APL for all the programs used to produce displays and analysis in the text. Assumes no formal knowledge of probability, mathematics, or computing. 1977 Statistical Survey Techniques Raymond J. Jessen A comprehensive, balanced treatment of the techniques for designing surveys and analyzing their data. Describes the methods which seem to be basic to such diverse fields as public opinion measurement, sociology, political science, economics, business, various governmental agencies, biology (e.g. wildlife and fisheries), engineering (e.g. traffic studies), urban planning and management, ecological studies, and many others. 1977

From the Inside Flap
This introduction to modern statistics for biomedical applications has been revised to make it even more useful to people in Public Health, epidemiology, and medical research. Retaining its nonmathematical approach, the text requires only one year of high school algebra as a prerequisite. The author has added two chapters one on vital statistics and demography and another on life tables. The material on tests for equality of variances has been condensed. More complete and convenient tables have been included and up–to–date examples illustrate basic concepts. The book will be helpful to the medical professional who is involved in research, either through active participation or evaluating the research of others. It also provides an introduction for those who plan to pursue advanced studies in biomedical statistics.
