 Description: 

Maintaining the same open and hands-on presentation, Introductory Biostatistics, Second Edition continues to include an organised guide to fundamental statistical principles widely used in research around the health sciences. With lots of real-world illustrations, the latest edition offers a realistic, contemporary guide to the statistical issues contained in the biomedical and public health fields.

Beginning with an overview of descriptive statistics in the health sciences, the book delivers topical coverage of probability equations, parameter estimation, and hypothesis testing. Subsequently, the book focuses on more specialised topics with coverage of regression analysis, logistic regression, techniques for count results, analysis of survival data, and designs for clinical trials. This comprehensive overhaul of Introductory Biostatistics, Second Edition includes:

• A new chapter on the use of higher order Measurement of Variance (ANOVA) in factorial and block designs

• A new chapter on research and inference approaches for repeatedly evaluated outcomes including constant, binary, and count outcomes

• R integrated throughout along with SAS®, enabling readers to repeat findings from provided examples with either app

• Several additional drills, with partial solutions required to aid comprehension of critical concepts

• Comments on Computations parts to provide more guidance on the use of applications

• A similar website that hosts the broad data sets presented in the book

Introductory Biostatistics, Second Edition is an outstanding textbook for upper-undergraduate and graduate students in introductory biostatistics courses. The book is also an excellent guide for applied statisticians working in the areas of public health, nursing, dentistry, and pharmacy.
