Klappentext zu „Medical Uses of Statistics 3e “
A new edition of the classic guide to the use of statistics in medicine, featuring examples from recent articles in the New England Journal of MedicineMedical Uses of Statistics has served as one of the most influential works on the subject for physicians, physicians-in-training, and a myriad of healthcare experts who need a clear idea of the proper application of statistical techniques in clinical studies as well as the implications of their interpretation for clinical practice. This Third Edition maintains the focus on the critical ideas, rather than the mechanics, to give practitioners and students the resources they need to understand the statistical methods they encounter in modern medical literature.Bringing together contributions from more than two dozen distinguished statisticians and medical doctors, this volume stresses the underlying concepts in areas such as randomized trials, survival analysis, genetics, linear regression, meta-analysis, and risk analysis. The Third Edition includes:* Numerous examples based on studies taken directly from the pages of the New England Journal of Medicine* Two added chapters on statistics in genetics* Two new chapters on the application of statistical methods to studies in epidemiology* New chapters on analyses of randomized trials, linear regression, categorical data analysis, meta-analysis, subgroup analyses, and risk analysis* Updated chapters on statistical thinking, crossover designs, p-values, survival analysis, and reporting research results* A focus on helping readers to critically interpret published results of clinical researchMedical Uses of Statistics, Third Edition is a valuable resource for researchers and physicians working in any health-related field. It is also an excellent supplemental book for courses on medicine, biostatistics, and clinical research at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels.
Co-published with the New England Journal of Medicine, this book provides both the fundamental techniques and the state-of-the-art information for a clear and current understanding of the use of statistics in the fields of medicine, biostatistics and clinical research. The first and second editions of this book, published over a span of a quarter of a century, has been widely praised as a unique contribution to the field by a gratifying number of readers. Arising from the idea that readers of medicine need a clearer idea of how statistical techniques can be applied in current clinical studies, the editors have reorganized, revamped, and added to an already cogent presentation of recent developments, applicable methods, and best practices in this valuable third edition.
- Is written with the aid of over two-dozen world renowned medical doctors and statisticians
- More than half of the content is new, and the remaining material reflects the new developments in the area of medical statistics that have occurred since the last edition (in 1992).
- Added coverage of survival analysis, epidemiologic methods, genetics, linear regression, contingency tables, power calculations, risk analysis, and alternate forms of statistical methods
- As before, the book focuses on the critical ideas, not the mechanics
- Provides insights and resources for understanding the role of most of the statistical methods that medical practitioners and students will encounter in the literature and in their daily work routines
- Assists the readers in effectively interpreting published results in clinical research.
