FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOSTATISTICS leads you through the methods, techniques, and computations necessary for success in the medical field. Every new concept is developed systematically through completely worked out examples from current medical research problems. Benefits: NEW! New sections on Parametric Survival Analysis and Parametric Regression Models for Survival Data. NEW! New sections on Parametric Survival Analysis and Parametric Regression Models for Survival Data. NEW! New sections on Attributable Risk, Extensions to Logistic Regression, and Longitudinal Data Analysis. NEW! New section on Interval Estimation for Rank Correlation Coefficients. NEW! New material on Regression Models for Clustered Binary Data. NEW! More than 250 new and updated problems. Complete online data sets for SAS, SPSS, JMP, MINITAB, Excel, and ASCII formats, covering all problems in the text that make use of real data. Review problems for quick practice before the main exercise sets. Large number of applications highlighted in the Index of Applications on the endsheets (they are grouped by medical specialty and summarize the examples and exercises that address each application). Includes cutting-edge research in fields that students will actually be working in later in their academic and professional careers. Many of the applications are based on original research conducted by the author. Brief solutions for more than 300 problems are given in text and approximately 600 additional problems and complete solutions are given in the Study Guide available on the Companion Website. NEW!
