An Excellent Book
As a student, I spent considerable time learning what I wanted to know about biostatistics?without drowning in what I didn?t want to know. Years later, as one who now teaches how to interpret and report statistics, I also know that my frustration is shared by more than a few students and health care professionals. Thus, it was a pleasure to read Study Design and Statistical Analysis: A Practical Guide for Clinicians. The author has a keen sense of audience, which, by itself, is an endorsement of the book. In addition, however, he has presented an excellent overview of a difficult topic by organizing the material in a familiar way and by explaining the concepts in familiar terms. I recommend this book highly to those looking for an introduction to clinical research and statistical analysis.
