Biostatistics


Book Description

The ability to analyze and interpret enormous amounts of data has become a prerequisite for success in allied healthcare and the health sciences. Now in its 11th edition, Biostatistics: A Foundation for Analysis in the Health Sciences continues to offer in-depth guidance toward biostatistical concepts, techniques, and practical applications in the modern healthcare setting. Comprehensive in scope yet detailed in coverage, this text helps students understand—and appropriately use—probability distributions, sampling distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, variance analysis, regression, correlation analysis, and other statistical tools fundamental to the science and practice of medicine. Clearly-defined pedagogical tools help students stay up-to-date on new material, and an emphasis on statistical software allows faster, more accurate calculation while putting the focus on the underlying concepts rather than the math. Students develop highly relevant skills in inferential and differential statistical techniques, equipping them with the ability to organize, summarize, and interpret large bodies of data. Suitable for both graduate and advanced undergraduate coursework, this text retains the rigor required for use as a professional reference.




Applied Biostatistics for the Health Sciences


Book Description

APPLIED BIOSTATISTICS FOR THE HEALTH SCIENCES In this newly revised edition of Applied Biostatistics for the Health Sciences, accomplished statistician Dr. Richard Rossi delivers a robust and easy-to-understand exploration of statistics in the context of applied health science and biostatistics. The book covers sample design, logistic regression, experimental design, survival analysis, basic statistical computation, and many more topics with a strong focus on the correct use and interpretation of statistics. The author also explains how to assess the quality of observed data, how to collect quality data, and the use of confidence intervals in conjunction with hypothesis and significance tests. A thorough introduction to biostatistics, including explanations of fundamental concepts like populations, samples, statistics, biomedical studies, and data set examples A comprehensive exploration of population descriptions, including qualitative and quantitative variables, multivariate data, measures of dispersion, and probability Practical discussions of random sampling, summarizing random samples, and the measurement of the reliability of statistics In-depth examinations of confidence intervals, statistical hypothesis testing, simple and multiple linear regression, and experimental design Perfect for health science and biostatistics students and professors at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels, Applied Biostatistics for the Health Sciences is also a must-read reference for practitioners and professionals in the fields of pharmacy, biochemistry, nursing, health care informatics, and the applied health sciences.




Principles and Applications of Biostatistics


Book Description

Principles and Applications of Biostatistics covers the primary concepts and methods that are required for a fundamental understanding of the use and interpretation of statistics for the biological and health sciences–from data presentation to multiple regression and analysis of variance. With a focus clarity, brevity, and accuracy, this text provides understandable and focused explanation of statistical principles and applications along with practical examples (provided in R and Microsoft Excel) and problems drawn from biological health and medical settings. Key Features: • Practical questions follow each problem to encourage students to consider why the problem likely exists, help formulate hypotheses, and then statistically assess those hypotheses. • Abundant assignment problems at the end of sections and each chapter cover a variety of application areas of biostatistics. • Rationale boxes offer explanations of why certain methods are used for specific cases.
