Rezension zu „Topics in Biostatistics “
From the reviews:"It is useful to biologists as well as statisticians. The book describes the use of appropriate statistical methods and offers guidelines on selecting an appropriate test. ... The main strength of the book is the clear exposition of statistical tests. ... As biostatisticians we strongly recommend this book for libraries where research on molecular biology is going on, and students ... in biostatistics. ... helpful in understanding the essence of the statistical techniques to a wide range of researchers and students in biology and medicine." (Mukesh Srivastava and M. Abbas, Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol. 36 (4), April, 2009)
