Recent years have seen many developments in statistical techniques. The new edition of this classic text has been extensively revised and updated to provide a comprehensive guide to these new techniques and a fresh approach to the subject. The book explains the use of experimental and analytical biostatistics and gathers together the majority of statistical techniques that are frequently used in medical research. It also introduces new topics and expanding areas of methodology still under active development.
The accessible style of Statistical Methods in Medical Research allows it to be used by the non-mathematician as a fundamental component of successful research. It will be essential reading for medical researchers and statisticians advising in medicine, and will provide a useful framework for courses at various levels - either for students trained in medical or biological sciences or those moving towards a career in medical statistics.
