Book Description
The first book on the market to encourage readers to think about data and statistical procedures, rather than just learn "cook book" recipes. During the course of a career clinicians and biomedical researchers are constantly confronted with statistical reports, which require them to make a decision that may affect patient care or the investigation/appraisal of data. The author of this volume provides the reader with the awareness, that they have a substantial education in biomedical phenomena, which will help them obtain, organize, and evaluate statistical data so they can make more intelligent informed decisions. Designed for use as a textbook and reference, the author of the book provides a very thorough up to date treatment of the topic as opposed to the usual superficial coverage found in many other books on this subject.
