Rezensionen

"I would happily recommend this book to all medical
libraries ... Public libraries should try to counteract this,
in the interests of public health and safety, and might find this
book to be a useful back-up tool for the purpose, though it is
really designed for a more specialised readership."
(Reference Reviews Journal, 2011)

"About 400 entries, updated and revised for this edition, are
provided, including 30 new ones, ranging from active control
equivalence studies to multiple linear regression to z-score."
