Infos

This book is meant to serve as a companion textbook and reference for students and scientists. The way it is written helps to dispel fear of statistics with which non-mathematicians are usually lumbered. The carefully selected material, along with examples by hand and computer solutions, offer a particularly good lead to follow. The book is divided into twelve chapters and covers topics from basic to advanced, helping users to decide which statistical analyses to choose for their data and to reach sensible conclusions. The book presents innovative methodologies such as: standard error for the median, leaf-to-stem sampling for epidemiological studies, sampling for cellular studies, the confidence interval as a test of significance, the least significant difference (LSD) test for many groups comparison, meta-analysis, and the confidence limits in calculation of cut-off values. It is hoped that users of all levels and fields will be satisfied with the contents and presentation.The book was previously self-published under the title of General, Biological and Biomedical Statistics.
