"Statistics in Medicine, Third Edition" makes medical statistics
easy to understand by students, practicing physicians, and
researchers. The book begins with databases from clinical medicine
and uses such data to give multiple worked-out illustrations of
every method. The text opens with how to plan studies from
conception to publication and what to do with your data, and
follows with step-by-step instructions for biostatistical methods
from the simplest levels (averages, bar charts) progressively to
the more sophisticated methods now being seen in medical articles
(multiple regression, noninferiority testing). Examples are given
from almost every medical specialty and from dentistry, nursing,
pharmacy, and health care management. A preliminary guide is given
to tailor sections of the text to various lengths of biostatistical
courses.
Key Features:
*User-friendly format includes medical examples, step-by-step
methods, and check-yourself exercises appealing to readers with
little or no statistical background, across medical and biomedical
disciplines
*Facilitates stand-alone methods rather than a required sequence
of reading and references to prior text.
* Covers trial randomization, treatment ethics in medical
research, imputation of missing data, evidence-based medical
decisions, how to interpret medical articles, noninferiority
testing, meta-analysis, screening number needed to treat, and
epidemiology.
* Fills the gap left in all other medical statistics books
between the reader s knowledge of how to go about research and the
book s coverage of how to analyze results of that research.
"New in this Edition: "

Bayesian statistics, measuring association and agreement, and
questionnaires and surveys.

choose, false discovery rate, interim analysis, bootstrapping,
Bland-Altman plots, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), and Deming
regression.
* Expanded coverage on probability, statistical methods and

design, and survival analysis.
*35 Databases in Excel format used in the book and can be
