Statistics in Medicine

Statistics in Medicine, 3e, offers a unique combination of reference information for practitioners and researchers along with core statistical methods for medical and health care students. It makes medical statistics easy for the non-biostatistician by outlining the common statistical methods used in 90% of medical research and clearly explaining the underlying basics. The book does not require a significant level of statistical knowledge and provides abundant clinical examples and exercises to reinforce concepts. New to this edition are 5 chapters: Plan of the Book, Basic Probability, Interpreting Results, Bayesian Analysis, and Agreement Methods in Reliability and Survey Analysis; 7 chapters reorganized and expanded; and new sections in all chapters, including ROC curves and tests; post hoc power; power analysis for equivalence tests; Markov chains; and Cox Proportional-Hazards Regression.
