About this book
Biostatistics and Epidemiology: A Primer for Health Professionals
focuses on the underlying framework of the field and offers practical
guidelines for research and interpretation. In addition to major
sections devoted to statistics and epidemiology, the book includes a
comprehensive exploration of the scientific method, probability, and
clinical trials. New to the second edition are:
-a reorganization of the material
-new information on survival analysis such as the Cox proportional
hazards model
-topics in nonparametric statistics
-expanded discussion of probability and its applications in
epidemiology
-an entirely new chapter on areas relevant to behavioral research and
change scores, reliability, validity, and responsiveness
-new appendices providing specific and clear instructions on how to
carry out several additional statistical calculations and tests
Biostatistics and Epidemiology describes principles and methods
applicable to medicine, public health, allied health, psychology and
education and will be useful not only to physicians doing clinical as
well as basic science research, but also to students at undergraduate,
graduate and medical school levels.
