Analytic procedures suitable for the study of human disease are
scattered throughout the statistical and epidemiologic literature.
Explanations of their properties are frequently presented in
mathematical and theoretical language. This well-established text
gives readers a clear understanding of the statistical methods that
are widely used in epidemiologic research without depending on
advanced mathematical or statistical theory. By applying these
methods to actual data, Selvin reveals the strengths and weaknesses
of each analytic approach. He combines techniques from the fields
of statistics, biostatistics, demography and epidemiology to
present a comprehensive overview that does not require
computational details of the statistical techniques
described.
For the Third Edition, Selvin took out some old material (e.g. the
section on rarely used cross-over designs) and added new material
(e.g. sections on frequently used contingency table analysis).
Throughout the text he enriched existing discussions with new
elements, including the analysis of multi-level categorical data
and simple, intuitive arguments that exponential survival times
cause the hazard function to be constant. He added a dozen new
applied examples to illustrate such topics as the pitfalls of
proportional mortality data, the analysis of matched pair
categorical data, and the age-adjustment of mortality rates based
on statistical models. The most important new feature is a chapter
on Poisson regression analysis. This essential statistical tool
permits the multivariable analysis of rates, probabilities and
counts.
