Publisher's Synopsis
Written by a statistician and a physician, this revised text introduces the medical student, resident, researcher or practitioner to the study of statistics applied to medicine. Traditional topics of biostatistics are covered as well as the quantitative methods in epidemiology which are used in clinical practice and research. Informed by actual examples from medical and health-related literature, the author's approach highlights technique, concepts and application rather than hypothetical situations. Examples and proofs are included where necessary.
