Study design and statistical methodology are two important concerns
for the clinical researcher. This book sets out to address both
issues in a clear and concise manner. The presentation of
statistical theory starts from basic concepts, such as the
properties of means and variances, the properties of the Normal
distribution and the Central Limit Theorem and leads to more
advanced topics such as maximum likelihood estimation, inverse
variance and stepwise regression as well as, time-to-event, and
event-count methods. Furthermore, this book explores sampling
methods, study design and statistical methods and is organized
according to the areas of application of each of the statistical
methods and the corresponding study designs. Illustrations, working
examples, computer simulations and geometrical approaches, rather
than mathematical expressions and formulae, are used throughout the
book to explain every statistical method. Biostatisticians and
researchers in the medical and pharmaceutical industry who need
guidance on the design and analyis of medical research will find
this book useful as well as graduate students of statistics and
mathematics with an interest in biostatistics. Biostatistics
Decoded: * Provides clear explanations of key statistical concepts
with a firm emphasis on practical aspects of design and analysis of
medical research. * Features worked examples to illustrate each
statistical method using computer simulations and geometrical
approaches, rather than mathematical expressions and formulae. *
Explores the main types of clinical research studies, such as,
descriptive, analytical and experimental studies. * Addresses
advanced modeling techniques such as interaction analysis and
encoding by reference and polynomial regression.
