About this title

Synopsis

This book not only tells one which statistics to use to summarize data and the assumptions underlying certain statistical methods, but also it discusses what restrictions there are to using the methods and when not to use them.

Review

"The presentation is superb. The examples are intriguing brief yet effective biostatisticians and clinical researchers should have this book in their collections." ( Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, September 2005)

"The book is clearly written with an abundance of examples which help greatly in the understanding of statistical principles. The text is extremely comprehensive, covering classical statistics as well as more recent developments. The major strength of the book is that it shows how epidemiology and statistics are two very much related disciplines in medical research. The book will be of value to those just starting a study of statistics and epidemiology as well as to those with more experience who will find it a valuable reference source. I would thoroughly recommend the book, which is competitively priced." A. Hart, Consultant Physician (Postgraduate Medical Journal)
