Synopsis

This conceptually-based introduction to statistical procedures prepares public health and life sciences students to conduct and evaluate research in the biological and public health sciences. The authors illustrate that statistics is more than just "maths" - it's a viable field that has hundreds of applications and uses in the real world. The authors rely heavily on the book's graphics and the use of computers to help students make the calculations, giving them more time to concentrate on and learn the concepts.
