The emergence of high-speed computing has facilitated the
development of many exciting statistical and mathematical methods
in the last 25 years, broadening the landscape of available tools
in statistical investigations of complex data. Biostatistics: A
Computing Approach focuses on visualization and computational
approaches associated with both modern and classical techniques.
Furthermore, it promotes computing as a tool for performing both
analyses and simulations that can facilitate such understanding. As
a practical matter, programs in R and SAS are presented throughout
the text. In addition to these programs, appendices describing the
basic use of SAS and R are provided. Teaching by example, this book
emphasizes the importance of simulation and numerical exploration
in a modern-day statistical investigation. A few statistical
methods that can be implemented with simple calculations are also
worked into the text to build insight about how the methods really
work. Suitable for students who have an interest in the application
of statistical methods but do not necessarily intend to become
statisticians, this book has been developed from Introduction to
Biostatistics II, which the author taught for more than a decade at
the University of Pittsburgh.
