Statistical ideas have been integral to the development of epidemiology and continue to provide the tools needed to interpret epidemiological studies. Although epidemiologists do not need a highly mathematical background in statistical theory to conduct and interpret such studies, they do need more than an encyclopedia of "recipes."

Statistics for Epidemiology achieves just the right balance between the two approaches, building an intuitive understanding of the methods most important to practitioners and the skills to use them effectively. It develops the techniques for analyzing...

The emergence of high-speed computing has facilitated the development of many exciting statistical and mathematical methods in the last 25 years, broadening the landscape of available tools in statistical investigations of complex data. Biostatistics: A Computing Approach focuses on visualization and computational approaches associated with both modern and classical techniques. Furthermore, it promotes computing as a tool for performing both analyses and simulations that can facilitate such understanding.

As a practical matter, programs in R and...

This book explains how to solve the most important problems in multiple testing encountered in drug discovery, pre-clinical, and clinical trial applications. It presents relevant statistical methodology; illustrates the methodology using real-life examples from drug discovery experiments, pre-clinical studies, and clinical trials; and provides software code (SAS, S-Plus, R) for solving the problems. It describes statistical strategies for handling multiplicity issues in the pharmaceutical industry and covers basic/traditional multiple testing procedures as well as novel approaches to...

This book covers a wide range of recent statistical methods that are of interest to scientists in biostatistics as well as in other related fields such as chemometrics, environmetrics and geophysics. The contributed papers, from internationally recognized researchers, present various statistical methodologies together with a selected scope of their main mathematical properties and their application in a real case study.

This book deals with the mathematical and statistical techniques underlying the models used to understand the population dynamics of not only HIV/AIDS but also other infectious diseases. Attention is given to the development strategies for...

Das offentliche Interesse an "gesunden" Lebensmitteln ist im Zeichen von BSE, Scrapie, Schweinepest, Salmonellen etc. dramatisch gestiegen. Tierische Produkte konnen heute ohne entsprechende diagnostische Tests nicht mehr verkauft werden. Aber diagnostisches Testen ist nicht fehlerfrei und Testfehler konnen zu einem groen Risiko fur die Kaufer (Kunden) werden.

Das Buch gibt eine praxisorientierte state-of-the-art-Darstellung zur Evaluierung von Tests und zur Interpretation ihrer Ergebnisse. Es ist das erste deutschsprachige Buch zu diesem Thema und richtet sich an methodisch...

Time-to-event data are ubiquitous in fields such as medicine, biology, demography, sociology, economics and reliability theory. Recently, a need to analyze more complex event histories has emerged. Examples are individuals that move among several states, frailty that makes some units fail before others, internal time-dependent covariates, and the estimation of causal effects from observational data.

The aim of this book is to bridge the gap between standard textbook models and a range of models where the dynamic structure of the data manifests itself fully. The common denominator of...
