Reviews
From the reviews of the fourth edition:
“This book is clearly written for students in the arena of health care. Physicians and health care providers can use it as a reference book. … The organization and structure is good and logical. … it deepens the understanding of applications of statistical methods and the analysis of clinical trials. Also, it provides a list of references at the end of each chapter. … In summary, this is an important contribution, providing up-to-date coverage on clinical trial methodology in a logical and systematic manner.” (Technometrics, Vol. 53 (2), May, 2011)
