Square One (SS1)

Statistics at Square Two, Second Edition, helps you
evaluate the many statistical methods in current use. Going beyond
the basics of SS1, it covers sophisticated methods and highlights
misunderstandings. Easy to read, it includes annotated computer
outputs and keeps formulas to a minimum.

Worked examples of methods such as multiple and logical
regression reinforce the text. Each chapter concludes with
exercises to stimulate learning.

All those who need to understand statistics in clinical research
papers and apply them in their own research will value this compact
and coherent guide.

Rezensionen

From a review of the previous edition

"This closely written but readable presentation of
advanced methods increasingly used in the medical literature uses
clinical examples to give meaning to these statistical methods. The
experienced author reports the essence of statistical methods with
only minimal use of mathematical notation. Underlying concepts are
well described in the introductory chapter and in appendices, and
the statistical references are excellent. Cautions on the misuse of
methods abound. Useful guidance on presentation of methods and
results appears in each chapter. Brief presentations of this
quality are rare."

Annals of Internal Medicine, December 2001

About SS1 & SS2

"These two books are quite amazing. The depth and detail
contained in these two tiny volumes is quite stunning. The way the
two books have been written is succinct, and yet, does allow the
student to understand the way the material is presented."

Senior Lecturer, Tissue Viability Unit
