This book covers the kinds of statistics students and practitioners will encounter in their regular reading of clinical papers. It assumes no prior knowledge of statistics, covers all essential statistical methods, and includes numerous examples and exercises on the interpretati…
Consists of contributions that discuss various probabilistic and statistical models used in public health. Many of them are based on the work of Marvin Zelen of the Harvard School of Public Health. Topics discussed include models based on Markov and semi-Markov processes, multi-…
"The approach taken in this book is, to studies monitored over time, what the Central Limit Theorem is to studies with only one analysis. Just as the Central Limit Theorem shows that test statistics involving very different types of clinical trial outcomes are asymptotically nor…
