Product Description
Product Description
The text focuses on practical areas of statistics in terms of their relevance to biomedical applications, statistical hypothesis testing and estimation. Illustrative examples and challenging problems, culled from recent biomedical literature, highlight the discussions throughout and help foster a more intuitive approach to biostatistics. Packaged with the book or available separately, a software program (Windows or Mac) offers an easy-to-use menu-driven program which performs 17 commonly used statistical tests featured in the text. The program can be used with or without the text. The manual makes the subject easy to understand and relevant to study and research.

Format:Paperback
I am a biochemist with a Ph.D. with a poor background in statistics. This is a very useful book that helped me learn to analyze basic biological data. It is easy to use, easy to read, and contains lots of clear examples. I use it every time I write a paper to make sure my statistical analyses are as thorough as possible. It contains lots of explanations of which test you should use and when to use them.
Format:Paperback
I found the 3rd edition very useful for reviewing concepts and looking up what tests make sense for which situations. Well worth having around if you consume (or occasionally conduct) public health or medical statistical analyses.

Y2K Compliance
15 Oct 1999
Not so much a review, but a question: Is the software for the 3rd and/or 4th edition Y2K compliant?
