What Is Biostatistics And Its Importance

Introductory Biostatistics for the Health Sciences

"Introductory Biostatistics for the Health Sciences" ist eine fundierte Einführung in die Biostatistik und ihre Anwendungsgebiete. Der Band richtet sich vorwiegend an Mediziner und Statistiker. Theorie und Praxis stehen im ausgewogenen Verhältnis, d.h. praktische Anwendungen werden, wo nötig, durch den theoretischen Hintergrund ergänzt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt eindeutig auf der praktischen Anwendung. Der Band geht auch auf jüngste Fortschritte bei der Bootstrap-, Outlier- und Meta-Analyse ein, Themen, die in der Regel in Konkurrenzwerken, nicht behandelt werden.

Biostatistics

This new edition of the book will be produced in two versions. The textbook will include a CD-Rom with two videotaped lectures by the authors. This book translates biostatistics in the health sciences literature with clarity and irreverence. Students and practitioners alike, applaud Biostatistics as the practical guide that exposes them to every statistical test they may encounter, with careful conceptual explanations and a minimum of algebra. What's New? The new Bare Essentials reflects recent advances in statistics, as well as time-honored methods. For example, "hierarchical linear modeling" which first appeared in psychology journals and only now is described in medical literature. Also new, is a chapter on testing for equivalence and non-inferiority. As well as a chapter with information to get started with the computer statistics program, SPSS. Free of calculations and jargon, Bare Essentials speaks so plainly that you won't need a technical dictionary. No math, all concepts. The objective is to enable you to determine if the research results are applicable to your own patients. Throughout the guide, you'll find highlights of areas in which researchers misuse or misinterpret statistical tests. We have labeled these "C.R.A.P. Detectors" (Convoluted Reasoning and Anti-intellectual Pomposity), which help you to identify faulty methodology and misuse of statistics.
