This book lowers the learning curve for physicians and researchers
The successful Statistical Reasoning in Medicine: The Intuitive
P-value Primer, with its novel emphasis on patient and community
protection, illustrated the correct use of statistics in health
care research for healthcare workers. Through clear explanations
and examples, this book provided the non-mathematician with a
foundation for understanding the underlying statistical reasoning
process in clinical research, the core principles of research
design, and the correct use of statistical inference and p-values.
The P-Value Primer 2nd Edition levels the learning curve of
statistics for health care researchers by further de-emphasizing
mathematical and computational devices, bringing the principles of
statistical reasoning closer to the uninitiated. Adding to the
updated discussions of research design, hypothesis testing,
regression analysis, and Bayes procedures, are new discussions of
absolute and relative risk, as well as a lucid description of the
number needed to treat (NNT). correct use and interpretation of
combined endpoints in health care research is offered in an easily
digestible format. The P-value Primer 2nd Edition demolishes other
obstacles that have impeded a clear understanding of the
application of statistics in medicine. The intertwined roles of
epidemiology and biostatistics are depicted. In addition to a
description of the non-technical history of statistics, a new
discussion describes the active cultural forces that have
historically argued against the use of probability and statistics,
placing the current applications and controversies involving
p-values in context. New illustrations of the difficulties
physicians and health care providers face in research are offered,
and the differences between research skills and statistical skills
are distinguished. New discussion describing the process of
scientific reasoning, p-values, and the law is included. All of
this nonstandard content, so essential for a well rounded
perspective on the modern use of statistics in medicine, makes this
volume unique among introductory statistics books. addition, three
new appendices have been added on the normal distribution, sample
size computations, and new requirements for the use of statistics
in the courtroom.
