Principles of Medical Statistics

Not just a set of cookbook recipes, Principles of Medical Statistics is designed to get readers thinking about data and statistical procedures. It covers many of the newew statistical methods and approaches and is arranged in a logical sequence that advances from simple to more elaborate results. The text describes all the conventional statistical procedures and offers reasonably rigorous accounts of many of their mathematical justifications. Although the conventional mathematical principles are given a respectful account, the book provides a distinctly clinical orientation with examples and teaching exercises drawn from real world medical phenomena.
