This book presents new and powerful advanced statistical methods that have been used in modern medicine, drug development, and epidemiology. Some of these methods were initially developed for tackling medical problems. All 29 chapters are self-contained. Each chapter represents the new development and future research topics for a medical or statistical branch. For the benefit of readers with different statistical background, each chapter follows a similar style: the explanation of medical challenges, statistical ideas and strategies, statistical methods and techniques, mathematical remarks...

This textbook consists of three parts: basic concepts of statistics, advanced statistical methods, and design and analysis for medical research. Each chapter begins with challenging medical problems and related statistical methods and theories; to make the statistical ideas more easily understood, there is a section of ?computer experiments? in each chapter where some basic statistical phenomena and related concepts are revealed. The statistical software SAS is used to carry out related statistical calculations. The aim of this book is to make medical students and researchers grasp easily the...

This volume consists of three parts: Part I comprises 11 chapters on the basic concepts of statistics, Part II consists of 10 chapters on multivariate statistics and Part III contains 12 chapters on design and analysis for medical research. The book is written using basic concepts and commonly used methods of design and analysis in medical statistics, incorporating the operation of statistical package SAS and 100 computer experiments for the important statistical phenomena related to each chapter. The CD-ROM holds all necessary data, including reference answers for the exercises, SAS programs...

This unique volume focuses on the 'tools' of medical statistics. It contains over 500 concepts or methods, all of which are explained very clearly and in detail.Each chapter focuses on a specific field and its applications. There are about 20 items in each chapter with each item independent of one another and explained within one page (plus references). The structure of the book makes it extremely handy for solving targeted problems in this area.As the goal of the book is to encourage students to learn more combinatorics, every effort has been made to provide them with a not only useful, but...
