This guide to biostatistics takes an entertaining approach. Students should benefit not only from the humorous aspects, but also the in-depth discussions. Topics include: data basics - normal distribution, probability, statistical inference; analysis of variance - t-test, paired t-test, one-way, factorial, and repeated-measures ANOVA; simple and multiple regression, regression and ANOVA, correlation, and factor analysis; and nonparametric statistics - tests of significance for categorical frequency data and ranked data, measures of association for categorical data and ranked data. Each section has a "Circular Reasoning and Anti-intellectual Pomposity" (C.R.A.P.) detector, and "Computer Notes" provide specific commands and general advice for SPSS, BMDP and Minitab.
