Description
Practical Statistics for Medical Research is a problem-based text for medical students, medical researchers, and others in medical areas who need to use statistics but have no special mathematics background. The author draws on thirty years of experience as a consulting medical statistician to provide clear explanations of key statistical concepts, with a firm emphasis on practical aspects of design and analysis of medical research. He gives special attention to the presentation and interpretation of results and the many real problems that arise frequently in medical research.
