Principles of Medical Statistics
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The first book on the market to encourage readers to think about data and statistical procedures, rather than just learn "cook book" recipes. During the course of a career clinicians and biomedical researchers are constantly confronted with statistical reports, which require them to make a decision that may affect patient care or the investigation/appraisal of data. The author of this volume provides the reader with the awareness, that they have a substantial education in biomedical phenomena, which will help them obtain, organize, and evaluate statistical data so they can make more intelligent informed decisions. Designed for use as a textbook and reference, the author of the book provides a very thorough up to date treatment of the topic as opposed to the usual superficial coverage found in many other books on this subject.
