Applied Biostatistics for the Health Sciences

The text contains a great number of illustrations and graphs as well as text/formula boxes that contain the key formula, definitions, and concepts covered in each section

A large number of the examples are based on real-life studies published in biomedical and healthcare journals

Several topics that are not usually covered in a first course in biostatistics are included, such as bootstrapping, sampling, sample size computations for two sample confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, design of experiments, and survival analysis

An accompanying Web site provides data for the case studies and exercises that are contained in the text

Both MINITAB® and Microsoft® Office Excel® data files are provided for each data set

References are given to difficult problems that often occur when buidling and assessing a statistical model
