Product Description

Review

"The more familiar I have become with this book, the more I appreciate the clear presentation and unthreatening prose. It is now a valuable compnaion to my formal statistics course."

International Journal of Epidemiology

"I heartily recommend it, especially to first years, but it′s equally appropriate for an intercalated BSc or Postgraduate research. If statistics give you headaches – buy it. If statistics are all you think about – buy it."

GKT Gazette

"As one who generally has not got a clue when it comes to statistics, this is a book I would definitely recommend on the basis of accessibility."

Surgo: Glasgow University Medical School Gazette

"This book allows the student to teach himself and is a very good long–term source of reference." Cambridge Medicine – Jan 2001 <!––end––>

"This book helped me a lot in refreshing ideas and was actually enjoyable to read. I am indebted to the book for being ale to complete the statistical analysis of data from my project." Cambridge Medicine

GKT Gazette

I heartily recommend it, especially to first years, but it's equally appropriate for an intercalated BSc or Postgraduate research.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Place to Get Going, 31 Oct 2001
This review is from: Medical Statistics at a Glance (Paperback)
I am not a fan of these "At a glance" books, but this one is really quite good. A little knowledge helps, but I found it explained the more difficult topics very succintly. Here and there it follows the usual statistics book problem of referring to an obscure stat method as if you knew it already, but by and large it was helpful and pointed me in the right direction

5.0 out of 5 stars At last - a readable statistics book!, 1 Jun 2008
By Misha The Penguin (Newcastle upon Tyne) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
After buying several medical statistics books in an effort to try and understand the impenetrable language I finally found one that explained statistics in a clear and straight forward way - and this book was it! Very clear pages outlining what you want to know, how the statistics are calculated and the all important examples to put the tests into context. Don't do what I did and get to this book late - buy this first and then see if you need to get any others!

5.0 out of 5 stars best med stats book i've found, 10 Dec 2007
This book had enough detail to see you through virtually every stats topic that comes up. Everything is explained clearly and is easy to understand...a big improvement on the recommended stats books for my course at least. I'd definitely recommend in to anyone, it has all the info you need, example calculations and applications of different calculations that are fully talked through along with clear, concise definitions and explanations.
