Here is a book for clinicians, clinical investigators, trainees,
and graduates who wish to develop their proficiency in the
planning, execution, and interpretation of clinical and
epidemiological research. Emphasis is placed on the design and
analysis of research studies involving human subjects where the
primary interest concerns principles of analytic (cause-and-
effect) inference. The topic is presented from the standpoint of
the clinician and assumes no previous knowledge of epidemiology,
research design or statistics. Extensive use is made of
illustrative examples from a variety of clinical specialties and
subspecialties. The book is divided into three parts. Part I deals
with epidemiological research design and analytic inference,
including such issues as measurement, rates, analytic bias, and the
main forms of observational and experimental epidemiological
studies. Part II presents the principles and applications of
biostatistics, with emphasis on statistical inference. Part III
comprises four chapters covering such topics as diagnostic tests,
decision analysis, survival (life-table) analysis, and causality.
